It's National Random Acts of Kindness Week! If you've never heard of it, here's the link. Following are some ideas for service: *Mentor someone *Buy coffee for the person in line behind you  *Bake brownies for your neighbors *Tell your pastor thank you *Buy something from a local store *Volunteer in your community *Pick up trash at a city park *Buy lunch for a police officer/firefighter And here is what I'm going to be working on: 1.

I want all of our children to see us making a difference in our communities and in the lives of others. Our example matters to them. *** Female in Motion Health Up...
