A few times in the last few weeks some random strangers have said something to me in passing that just made my day wonderful. I didn't realize how much I needed those uplifting comments until now and I want to pay it forward. For family home evening tonight, I had everyone make tootsie roll pop ghosts and pumpkins and told them to go out and say/do something nice for a stranger on campus and give them a ghost to brighten their day.
Instructions:
1. You will need: tootsie roll pops (or any lollipop that doesn't have the extra froof on top like blow pops), tissues (also colored napkins or tissue paper works), ribbon/string, markers.
2. Cover the pop in the tissue and tie with a ribbon around the base.
3. DECORATE!!! Get creative...see I even made little pumpkin ones and a creepy harry potter one.
But really anything will do or you can just skip the ghost part. Just keep in mind that there are people around you and it's the simple things that count. It's so easy to get wrapped up in our own little worlds, but easier still to think of someone else.
Wow, I promise my next post won't be all "save the world with small actions".
"save the world with small actions" posts are important...we all forget sometimes that there are other people out there who need kind thoughts just as much as we do. thanks for reminding us!
