1. Write an encouraging note to others that have encouraged you or that need
encouragement. Handwritten notes that are given to encourage, not just for
thanking someone for a gift, are rare. That makes handwritten notes even
more special. Start a new practice of sitting down and writing an
encouraging note on a regular basis. You just might start an epidemic!2. Take a friend out to lunch or invite her to your home for a meal. You
will get to know each other even better than you do right now. If you feel
like being more adventurous, throw a party for several of your friends and
put smiles on a multitude of faces. 3. Give someone an inspirational book to read. You will feel good doing it,
reading the book will change the person, and they will think of you every
time they read it.4. Ask a friend or relative if you can take care of their kid(s) for a day
or evening. If you have been a parent, you know the value of being able to
have a few hours of `adult time` without worrying about the children. Don't
wait to be asked to baby-sit when it is required. Offer to do it at a time
when the parent can do something fun and relaxing.5. Deliver a meal to someone you know that is sick or having a rough time.
We have all been sick and know the last thing you want to do is be out of
bed. There are also times when life is tough and it is hard to do all of the
daily chores. You can be a tremendous help by providing a meal that can be
enjoyed.6. Volunteer time to supporting your local prayer hall or temple. Every
minute you dedicate to charity or temple will cause many smiles. You will
put a smile on the face of each leader just for helping without being asked.
You will also be putting smiles on the faces of those that are being helped
through the organization. 7. Thank everyone that supports you throughout the day. The list of those
that you come in contact with is endless. Remember family and friends,
secretaries, co-workers, teachers, Sunday school teachers, pastors, store
employees, janitors, gas station attendants, those that deliver your mail
and newspaper, and servers at restaurants.
