This week’s Show Us Your Life topic is random acts of kindness. When I was in college, my church’s college class had a group called RAK, which stood for Random Acts of Kindness. We got together a couple of times a month and did some kind of activity for our community. One time, we split into groups and visited some of the elderly members of our church. My group visited a sweet little couple. She baked cookies for us, and we listened to his stories from when he was in the military during World War II.
Another week, we went to a very small, poor town close to ours and helped several families with projects around their homes. I helped clean a cute little woman’s house. After cleaning her house, she asked us to sing old hymns to her. So much fun.
Around Christmas, we baked cookies and delivered them to the fire departments around the metro. Here are a few pictures!

RAK was such a fun group to be a part of. It was very sad when it ended. Head over to Kelly’s Korner to see more random acts of kindness ideas!
I love the idea of baking cookies for the local fire station! Those men and women are there around the clock for days at a time. I’m sure some cookies are always appreciated. :)
how fun! that is a great idea for a community or church group.
