Day 28 – December 28

1228Spend some time this week that is “Family Time.”

Choose something your whole family can do together and do it. It can be a game the family plays together, or perhaps you go to a park or go hiking. Pick something that allows everyone to interact with one another.

Turn off the phones, get rid of distractions, put away the work — just spend time with one another serving them through the gift of your presence.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially tho those who belong to the family of believers. (Galatians 6.10)

We encourage you to return daily for more opportunities to serve others during these 31 Days of Service. We also encourage you to share your own ideas of service as well as the times of service you and your family perform. You can use the comment section below or tag us in social media using: #sp31days

Day 10 – December 10

1210Take packaged socks, tied with a festive ribbon, to one of our local nursing homes. Ask the receptionist which resident(s) have very little family and friends and leave your gifts for that person.

Brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you. (1 Thessalonians 2.17)

Other Ideas:

•Better yet: stay and visit. The gift of our time is the most precious gift of all.
