Day 4

Love is Thoughtful

When is the last time you have done something thoughtful for someone else? (Hopefully recently considering the previous dares :)) When is the last time someone has done something thoughtful for you? Did it make you feel loved?

Too often our immediate reaction to those we love is to "become angry and frustrated.... You speak harshly now and determine later if you should have said it. But the thoughtful nature of love teaches you to engage your mind before engaging your lips. Love thinks before speaking. It filters words through a grid of truth and kindness." - Love Dare

Psalm 139:17-18
How precious also are your thoughts to me...How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.

Dare:
Find someone who looks like they may not be having a good day. Reach out to them with the simple gesture of asking how they are doing and if there’s anything you can do to help make their day better.

  3. I have the same thing as Joelle. But I have done this dare before and all...yet I think I will do it tomorrow anyway. We are going on a field trip so this may even not be able to be accomplished until wendsday :'[ I'm sorry. This sounds like it would be fun. I promise I will do it as soon as the opportunity shows itself :D
