Transformation is defined as, "An act, or process, or instance in
change of structure, appearance or character. A conversion,
revolution, makeover, alteration or renovation." There is nothing
like seeing someone's life transformed for the better.

Love Challenge #5: Take the time to contact someone and invite
them to church with you tomorrow (that means you will have to make
plans to go yourself...smile). Remember all things are possible!

Happy Love Day!

Love Challenge...Day 4

Many times our discomforts are someone else's blessings. We often
find ourselves complaining about what we don't have, but fail to
realize that we are better off than we realize. My grandmother would
always say, "Boy, there is someone that is worse off than you".
Remember that true acts of love won't always be convenient. We
must learn to sometimes be inconvenienced for someone else's
convenience.

Love Challenge #4: During the course of the weekend (Friday-
Saturday) pull out your clothes that don't fit you anymore or ones
that you don't wear and donate them to a local outreach.

Happy Love Day!

Love Challenge...Day 3

There is a idiom that refers to being "the Good Samaritan". "The
Good Samaritan" refers to someone that assists others when they
are at the point of need, with no discussion of compensation, and
no thought of reward."

Love Challenge #3: Throughout the course of the day perform an
act of "the Good Samaritan" and buy someone a meal. Remember,
there's always someone worse off than you.

Happy Love Day!

Love Challenge...Day 2

We live in a very fast paced society, and it can become
easy to forget that there are actually others around us
that have various needs and pressures just like we do.

Love Challenge #2: For everyone that you encounter
today, find something nice to say to them. You can
build a person up by the power of the words that you
speak.

The Love Challenge

http://thesituationist.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/thing-called-love.jpg
No, this is not an advertising pitch for 2010's Valentine's
Day! It is simply what it is, a 'Love Challenge'.

Love can not be characterized as true love until it is first
given away. Yes, love doesn't capitalize in taking but it is
centered around giving. One of the powerful elements in life
that many individuals overlook is the value of relationships.
Someone once said, "Relationships are the keys to one's future".
If that is a true statement shouldn't we be working towards
developing those relationships in our lives on an everyday basis.
In addition, our society is in a fragile place and can use individuals
to stand up and make a difference.

Well, that's where the challenge comes into play! Everyday, for
the next week you will be given a 'Love Challenge'. The goal
is to implement the challenge throughout the course of your day.
Remember, this challenge is for everybody (married or single).
You will receive your first challenge June 2nd by 9:00 a.m CST.

There are two things I will ask you to do: (1) Acknowledge that you
are accepting the challenge (2) Send the challenge to others you know

LET'S SPREAD SOME LOVE!!!
