Love Dare Day 2


Day Two:
All About Kindness

Today the love dare was all about kindness. 

"Love makes you kind. And kindness makes you likable. When you’re kind, people want to be around you. They see you as being good to them and good for them."






Favorite Bible Verses From Day 2
 “Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man” (Proverbs 3:3–4)

The Bible describes a woman whose husband and children bless and praise her. Among her noble attributes are these: “She opens her mouth in wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue” (Proverbs 31:26)

What is desirable in a man is his kindness. (Proverbs 19:22)

Day 2 Dare:
In addition to saying nothing
negative to your spouse again today,
do at least one unexpected gesture
as an act of kindness. 
 

Sometimes, I have come to learn that we get so wrapped up in the day to day routine that we forget to do those little things that mean so much. Something as simple as just calling to say hey or a good morning text. We get so comfortable that we feel as if those things aren't necessary anymore. Today was all about a random act of kindness just to say "hey I love you". Today, on my way to work, I stopped off at Eric's work and text him to come outside. I got to see him and tell him hey and I told him I loved him. Usually we just text good morning but seeing him was so much better. We also had lunch together! It was great. Something we used to do all the time and started taking for granted suddenly meant so much again. Kindness doesn't have to be a gift or bought, kindness is so much more...
