Happy Sunday!
Today is…Sacrifice Our Wants for Other’s Needs Sunday #SacrificeOurWantsForOthersNeedsSunday
Sacrifice Our Wants For Others’ Needs Sunday is a wonderful chance to do something for somebody else in need. Let your desires come second on this day and give a little something to someone else.
Suggestions
- Pick up groceries for someone who can’t go to the store themselves
- If there is someone you know that is confined to a wheelchair offer to take them out on a day trip (maybe to a park or a walk along the boardwalk)
- Have a family member over for dinner especially those who don’t get out often
- Visit an elderly relative in a nursing home
- Take your elderly family member out on a day trip
- Spend the afternoon with your children doing something fun together
- Visit sick children in the hospital
- Mow a needy neighbor’s lawn
- Instead of spending your money on something you don’t necessarily need, donate it
- Offer to walk the neighbor’s dog if he or she is unable to
- Cook a meal for a sick friend
- Offer to pet sit for a someone if they are going away
- When you offer to help a person in their time of need, don’t say “If there is anything I can do, just call” because most of the time they will not call you. Instead, follow up on your offer by contacting them personally to offer your assistance.
