Act 36 - Lunch break

Today’s act encourages us to make some extra lunch to share with someone else, to try and build friendships over lunch.  I packed the leftover lasagne from yesterday’s dinner into a container for hubby (normally he ends up sorting out his own lunch) but also invited some other mums and children from Hub Café over for the morning to share tea and homemade cake.  It was lovely to be able to sit out in the sunshine together and enjoy a nice chat over a cup of tea whilst the children enjoyed running around the garden and playing with the toys.

Act 35 - Gospel

Today’s act encourages us to share the gospel with someone we meet or are friends with.  Having had a quiet day at home with the girls today made it quite difficult to share the gospel with someone I encountered so I have had to opt for sharing it online instead.  I have written a blog post about my ten favourite books, the top one being the Bible which has been a source of strength, comfort, hope and encouragement through the knowledge that God is always in control and I have shared some of my favourite verses which have helped me.

Act 30 - Meet a need

I’m a day late with Act 30 which focuses on meeting a need locally, for example donating to the local food bank. We have a collection point for our local food bank in our church and as I was in town and doing some shopping today, I made sure I picked up a few extra things especially for the food bank. I notice that our local food bank also has an online shopping list which shows which things are particularly low in stock which is useful for future reference – will try and remember this when I next do my shopping.

Act 10 - Talent show

Today's act encourages us to look again at our 'toolkits'; to share our talents and offer to teach one of them to others. I posted a list on Facebook this morning, offering to teach making basic icing figures, card stitching, iris folding or rag-rugging, skills that I thought I might be able to teach and manage to find a time slot in which I could do so. So far I haven't had any responses though and from looking on twitter today I suspect I'm not alone in this. Maybe someone will take me up on the offer another time.
