The One Dollar Christmas Challenge...(are you in?)

“In all the work you are doing, work the best you can. Work as though you were doing it for the Lord, not for people” ~ Colossians 3:23 You cannot change the world you say; but you can make a difference in someone’s day. This entry will be short but hopefully make a big impact. Everywhere we look, there are dollar stores, dollar menus, dollar sales and dollar bargins. Between now and Christmas I am challenging everyone to take at least one dollar (or more if you have it) and randomly change someone’s day with it. You can’t afford to feed the masses but you can buy a cup of coffee or a treat for a tired mom or worn out soul. A sandwich for the hungry, a bag of cough drops, a cup of tea for someone you see doesn't feel well. You can offer a child a dollar to help them with their Christmas shopping. Take a stranger a candy bar. Whatever you feel is right in the moment. Try to pick the random and unsuspecting. You might even find this sort of challenge addicting maybe continue throughout the year. Maybe you have twenty dollars (or more) you could spread cheer to twenty people or you could pay for someone’s groceries, gas or Christmas gifts. I challenge everyone to create a dollar sensation of their own at least once between now and Christmas. (I would love to know how you spent your dollar please share here on the blog comments). So what will be on your "Dollar Menu" today? “Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels”. ~ Hebrews 13:2 Copyright 2014 Micheline Edwards
