20 things to do to grow your NICE quotient -- and to spread it on...
In a world that is becoming more and more mean-spirited, it would be behoove us to step back and think about what it means to really be nice. And, when we are nice, it is contagious. Here are a few suggestions I've come up with that we can all do today:
1. Smile at a child.
2. Pay for the person's toll behind you.
3. When someone starts to gossip about someone, say something nice about that person instead and change the subject.
4. Make someone's favorite cookies for no reason.
5. Make someone feel good about themselves.
6. Post on someone's facebook wall just to let them know you are thinking about them.
7. Send a note in your child's lunch sack.
8. Tell someone you will pray for them, and then do.
9. Pray for someone you don't particularly like.
10. Wave and smile at someone who has let you into the car line.
11. Offer to let someone go before you at the grocery store.
12. Tell the waiter/waitress or grocery clerk how well they are doing and you appreciate their hard work.
13. Send someone a note who has done something nice for you, but you never told them.
14. Ask a new artist, author or blogger how you can help them promote their work and be successful.
15. Say something funny to the grocery clerk.
16. Treat your child like you would a friend's child.
17. Treat your husband like someone you are trying to impress.
18. Smile and thank the person who opens a door for you.
19. Open a door for someone, and give them a sincere smile.
20. Say "Excuse me!" when you walk in front of someone.
Please leave comments for other things that you think are NICE! God bless!

Why is it ...
that some people don't turn to God until He is all they have left?
Why is it that we don't turn to God FIRST, and then we have everything else?
I guess it is because as Human Beings we feel the need and have been taught our whole lives to be in control, and we don't want to have to depend on something other than ourselves.
But, I also know that each one of us needs a purpose. We need to know what our design is. How are we to know that unless we inquire of the One who actually made us in the first place?
To some people this is simplistic and even sophomoric. But, that is the beauty of God. He is awesome (and I don't use that word lightly) and He is SIMPLE. He wants to reveal His mysteries to us Humans. He does this through Jesus, "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." (Colossians 2:3) Sounds mystical. It is.
I always wanted to write a song about a person who came to know God because of all of the good things that happened in their lives. I didn't know of anyone like that until I met my husband. But, most people do come to the end of their rope before they look up, and hopefully right into the eyes of Jesus, who only wants to love them, not judge, show them their purpose, and give them, most importantly, life abundantly -- being completely and utterly forgiven.

You know what makes me sad...?
Yellow doesn't make me sad. But when my son, J-GQ, is sick, I feel sad. My child is sick today.
You wouldn't think I was sad, though, because today at the doctor's office he was the one acting like the adult. I was texting some old friends I worked with at Continental Singers, and I was laughing my head off while he was sitting there on the table being miserable. He kept shaking his head. And rolling his eyes. As the friend I was texting said, "That's what teens do." Even when the doctor came in, I was finishing up my text and he probably thought I was the most disengaged mom.
So, my son has the flu. Yuck. But, he's handling it like a man (which isn't really saying a whole lot, because most men are little babies when they are sick. Except my Chump. He's not a woosy baby when he's sick -- he just wants everyone to stay away from him.)
J-GQ is not whining or complaining. He's a tough kid (but not of heart). And that makes me glad.
