I’m planning to send flowers on Holocaust Remembrance Day (May 6th) to a Jewish gal who cleans our church expressing our deep sorrow over the treatment of the Jewish people both then and now. And telling her thank you for serving us and that we value her life.

Diana, I just want you to know that your suggestion of praying for our country every time I see a flag has really impacted me! I have been saying "God bless America with peace, godly leadership and salvation" for months as I spot flags in yards etc.! ( I think God may be getting tired of hearing me, but I realize with the issues each day on the news, our country has a lot of people who need prayer and the Saul/Paul experience!) Thanks for your encouragement to make the world a better place beginning with small acts each day in May.. God bless you and your family!

I was “hired” to sew patches on the dress uniform of an Army Reserve Chaplin in our church. When he asked me how much he owed me, I said “Nothing! This is an act of service I am doing for his servicemen to our country and also for his leadership in a local youth ministry! Today I visited a lady under hospice care in a nearby care center which blessed me greatly.

A fun one is to lead kids to local walking areas to (carefully with gloves)pick up trash and sprinkle state flower seeds-then on subsequent walks sprinkle the seeds with water to help them establish. Over the years, people are delighted by "how well the wildflowers do here"and the kids involved over the years -and me -get a beaming smile when we walk by the beauty we helped along!

I was in a bible group on FB and one lady asked if folks would anyone would send her mother (who is in a nursing home) a birthday card? So I did! I hope it brightened her day. Since the card is going to the nursing home, there's no danger of giving out a 'private address'. I used to work in a nursing home, so I know "Activities" handles these types of requests (just gave myself a great idea for "service")

Thanks for the inspiration! Definitely been in a funk lately and struggling to find my purpose beyond laundry, dishes and cleaning now that the kids are both in school full time. I've always had a passion to serve but I've lost sight of it in motherhood because it can be hard to justify adding extra to my plate. But my kids are old enough to do it alongside me or I can do it myself on days they are busy. I also have been the recipient of someone doing this 5 years ago at a time in my life that meant more than she could ever know - and I often think of her for being that light in a dark time. Thank you for the push to do little things to help others every day!

Thank you for the great ideas. I've watched you and Dawn for awhile and you both inspire me. I'm a Christian mom with teenagers and you have wonderful ideas for teaching kids how to serve others joyfully for the Lord. I work as a case manager in a prison with individuals dealing with mental health issues. Depending on the institution, that's an idea to volunteer also. We have different church groups that send volunteers weekly to work in prison ministry. I understand that type of location may be uncomfortable for some, but please include that population in your prayers. I consider my work a ministry because I spread God's love and joy wherever I go. "Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless." 1 Corinthians 15:58

When I turned 33 (over a decade ago 🤯) I had a “random acts of kindness party.” I organized 33 random acts of kindness. I put a post on FB a few weeks in advance asking for donations (quarters for the vacuums at the local car wash, toys & backpacks to donate the local police station to give to kids they come across in bad situations, goodies from local bakeries to give to first responders, old towels and pet food for the animal shelter, shelf stable food for the food pantry, etc.) It was my best birthday. I was flooded with various donations and I had tons of people come participate, including people I’d never met before. It was wonderful, and exhausting. 33 is a lot to do in 1 day.

Love this❤❤ such awesome ideas. I used to volunteer at a nursing home, I think I came home more blessed than I was blessing them. Also volunteered at a food shelf. It's amazing how you can go there and the atmosphere and the people you walk away with a skip to your step. The people their hearts, the kindness but also I created friendships from helping there. Also gave me a different heart so many times we can Gets stuck in our own world, but to see the needs of others put a lot of things in a different perspective. Thank you so much for encouraging us all to step out. I truly appreciate your videos your heartbeat and all that you share ❤ Thank you, Jesus for Diana and thank you for her heartbeat for you Lord and how she encourages and spreads the gospel to this world. Many days it's quiet here.And so to hear your voice to hear your giggle to hear your laughter Feels like a visit from a close friend for a moment.

Your manner of teaching about the Lord is so calming and everyday applicable. We need to have examples of how and why the Word of God works. We need to also see the ways to apply it in everyday life.

Hi Diane. I love a challenge. I downloaded and printed off the sheet. How does someone enter the competition? This challenge has caused me to 'look' for good acts to do or how to serve people. It is a mindset change. I was creating a poster for free, for a guy who is in his 70s and is not tech savvy. I realized that it is an act of serve. Something good to do for someone who does not have the skills.

Awesome accomplishments with all you have on your plate- The Lord is blessing people through your perseverance ❤ As Christians we are still called to put God first and to find a way to share salvation with others, even if we are busy with all our other things… I always tell my kids that if you have time for yourself and games and reading and sports, than you have time to give back to spreading the word of Jesus🎉 My daughter recently made up blessings bags for people asking for help in our community…small tube of toothpaste, socks, wash cloth and soap, bottle of water, and a few non-perishable snacks. She does include a couple of memory verses and a track about Jesus. She offers to pray with them if the stop light time allows or meeting space…. And of course praying for them in the months following💞💫🙏🏽🫶🏼

I pay for the person behind me fairly oftem. I just ask how much the order behind me is. My goal is around $10. If it's more, I just get a quick $10 guft card for them to give that car. I challenge myself to do 2-3 RAKs each week. But they don't have to cost $. Sometimes, it's just kind words when you can tell someone is having a hard day.
