I sat in TDU today trying to get some work done, when the girl next to me asked me if I wanted to participate in a "Pay It Forward" movement. For those who do not know, 'Pay it Forward' starts with one person performing an act of kindness for three others. Then, those three have to pay it forward to three others. It creates a chain reaction where kindness can reach hundreds and eventually thousands. An AWESOME concept! There is also a movie called 'Pay it Forward.' If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. A wonderful story and a wonderful message. I immediately said yes because I am a huge advocate for this: small acts of kindness=great gestures of love. Whether it be to a close friend or a perfect stranger, small acts of kindness make the world a better place.
So, my assignment for this project: write an encouraging note to a close friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger. Give it to them before the end of the day. So simple right? But, the question is, why don't we do this more often? I am so excited to be a part of this movement, that it is present on JMU's campus. I encourage each and every one of you to participate as well. You don't necessarily need to write a note....any act of kindness will do.
Small acts of kindness=great gestures of love: God's perfect love <3
How will you pay it forward?
