Random acts of kindness make people feel so good. When I see someone I know or don't know. I will compliment them about something example: their hair, the color they are wearing, their jewlry or the smell of their perfume. I know when people do it to me it makes me feel good about myself so they must feel the same.
I am one of those people who believe do unto others have your would have them do unto you. Holding doors, let a car out in heavy traffic, helping a friend in need or someone who isn't a friend but has a need.
I don't know if anyone listens to Joyce Meyer (evangalist) her topic one day last week was just this. She recommended keeping 5.00 gift certificates in your purse and when you see a homeless person in need give them one. The only problem with this is I would buy them and then end up using them for myself. So I better stick with compliments and other good deeds.
I hope you all have a blessed day,
Sherrie

LOL Sherrie!! I'd probably do the same thing!! My budget is so tight that I pretty much have to stick to things that don't cost any money.....but compliments are free and sometimes worth more to a person than something expensive.

True Kitty, and it makes others smile!! I find at work yes, I work with people service and have to be nice of course. But I always surprise many of my customers, cause I will ask them how their day is going?! I manage a McDonald's...and that extra question catches them off guard...or I also do the one with compliments.

thanks for the thread, reminds me of all these other great ideas, thanks,sarah

(carrying something for a woman that has many children in tow is a nice one too, I tend to ask any parent if they are hands full...or anyone in wheel chair etc, if they need me to come around with the tray of their food, and/or help them get the drinks at the self serve)

Take a friend's daughter to dance class for her and bring her out for ice cream with your daughter. This way the parents can attend an MS seminar and get some important information to help them. And the next month when they call you to do it again, you do it just because.
