We just started a new series at church called Bold! It has been so good. Stuart defined bold as: an extraordinary behavior by an ordinary person because of an extraordinary experience. When the kids and I did our bible study this morning we decided that we would put this principle into practice. We have declared Wednesday--Bold Day for the Hodges! We are going to be exhibiting some extraordinary behavior of giving, love and appreciation. It is my prayer that as a family we will daily live bold lives. But, I love the idea of making it the forefront of our mind for a day!
We are still making out our list of things that we want to do, but here are a few ideas that we have going:
1. Go to the dollar store and tape a $1 bill behind a toy--surprise!
2. Buy things for Stuff the Bus.
3. Leave the mailman a gift
4. Put quarters in some gum ball machines for someone to enjoy.
5. Visit our principal at school and bring her some treats....it is hard working in the summer!
So, we kind of got in a rut, do you have any other BOLD ideas for us? I promise to do my best to document our journey tomorrow!
