Random Acts of Kindness & Freebie

For over 33 years Jesus walked the earth blessing people with messages of compassionate giving and love. In honor of his love and kindness, the Women's Ministry at my church is hosting a "33 Random Acts of Kindness" event for the month of February. What better way to share who is Jesus is than to love people. Throughout the month we will be doing a minimum of 33 random acts of kindness. The church provided the necessary tags needed for this event, but Michael and I decided to get a little creative and run wild with it. We came up with our own tags and packaged up the goodies using red, pink, & turquoise. He understands what we are doing and is very excited about giving out "prizes" to other people. To this day I remember growing up helping my parents run the Hunger Ministry at our church and I am thankful for the impact that had on me. I'm praying that involving Michael in these type of events does the same for him. Here's some of the acts of kindness that we will be doing as well as some pictures.
  • Place baby wipes and/or diapers in a public restroom for another mother
  • Place goody bags with playdoh, bubbles, and candy inside them on park benches
  • Pay for the person's food behind us in the drive-thru
  • Leave $1 bills attached to toys in the Dollar Store and also attach them to the front of vending machines
  • Leave soft drinks, bottled water, chewing gum, and hand sanitizer at various public locations
  • Leave plastic candy hearts full of candy in the children's area at a Doctor's office


I used the Print & Cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo to create these tags. The tag is one of Lori Whitlock's 6 labels (6_labels_C01209_20509) and the digital art is from Just So Scrappy's Love You kit. Here's some FREE coordinating Valentine themed cupcake toppers that I created using this same kit. Just print on your home printer and cut out using a scallop or other shaped punch!

  3. Love the project. Exciting to see the Women's Ministry doing outreach. I know Michael will love doing this. Can't wait for EJ to get a little older so we can do these type projects also.
