 Say Something Nice To Someone Today

church steepleMy wonderful cousin, Tommy Wolfe from Savanna TN, who sends me those beautiful Sunday cards and messages each week just sent me this, and I wanted to share it with you.  This is a true story of a 92 year old woman coming out of a store, after getting into her car a man jumped in the passenger side with the intent to rob her, instead he got a big surprise.  Her story was aired on a local Memphis TN news station. It's an inspiring story about how this lady saying Jesus was always with her and ministering to the would be robber, turned a potential harmful situation into helping the person instead.  Whoever this man is I hope this changed his life, I can't imagine how it would not have made a profound impact on him.  We can all learn something from this short news clip, in fact there are a lot of lessons here when you really stop and think about it.  People respond to someone with true convictions, and a kind word.  She turned a totally negative situation into something totally different by her reaction to the situation.  We all can, even if it is just by responding to someone who says something bad to us with something nice instead of nasty and getting mad.  Being kind to someone is really an easy thing to do, we all should try it more often, the world would be a much happier, brighter place for all of us.  So turn up the volume, and get ready to smile.  Wish there were a lot more people like this kind lady in the world, and it can start with me and you.

I have a cross stitch my mother in law, who is no longer with us, did for me that says, "Do you suppose, oh could it be, that peace on earth might start with me"!  I plan on going out of my way to find someone, hopefully more than one person to say something nice to tomorrow, and go out of my way to spread some love in the world.  It's a habit, and a good one I'm going to work on, just say something nice to someone whose path crosses yours, in some small way we can all make a big difference.

Thanks Tommy for always sending me such positive things. Love, Liffy.

Tommy...

WOW, you found the post I wrote about you, this seems like a million years ago.  I had forgotten I wrote this and thought I had sent you a link to it.  God works in mysterious ways :).  I guess I was so upset about Thor, in fact I had not even put it in any groups, so don't know how it even got comments on it.

Anyway I so happy "someone" directed you to search this out, it's always a good reminder.  Just say something nice to someone today.  Do a random act of kindness :)

It also reminds me to do a post for Thor!  I found some old pictures from when she was a kitten and Bill scanned and e-mailed them to me.  Here is one where she is grown and was still young, sleek and full of fun and play.

Robert...

It sure would make our world and all of our lives a much more beautiful place to be in!  Maybe we should get an accountability group together and split into two teams, and bet on who can go a full week?  I'm in, what a great way to develop a new wonderful habit!  Wanna be in charge of rounding up about 20-30 AR people to do it with us?  Robert, I'm serious...let me know, Liz

My Sweet Ricki...

You never fail to bring a smile to my face :).  Thor looked very happy and regal in the picture by the roses when she was still healthy, huh?  I need to write something to her/for her, and I will after the contest.  Did you here Josh and I won week 4 challenge....so cool.  Big tight huhs, L

Liz...quite a while back I had read somewhere that you attributed a lot of your success to AR.  We have never met, but I am a Loan Officer that lives in Katy as well and see your advertising and scuba diving picture all the time.  I have just actually joined AR because of your recommendation.  I was surprised while I was reading through some blogs that I found your post.  Thanks for your indirect recommendation. It truly seems as if you DO really enjoy AR.  It seems that there is quite a family here.  To your continued success!!  Thanks, Christy

I'm catching up with everyone, so I'll be by to see you of course.  I think there are just 3 more weeks left in the AR contest, assuming we make it through!  It started with 16 teams and is down to only 9 teams.  L
