"S"---stop and spend some time to speak with someone you don't usually notice
"T"---touch a heart by doing a good deed
"U"---underneath everyone needs feel loved... do something for someone to make them feel special
"V"---view your heart by what God says--- read verses about giving and do a deed
"W"---Wait on someone else. Be helpful. Be kind
"X"---Examine your motives--- do you like being told thank you? Do a deed in secret.
"Y"---You can make a difference- ask those around to donate to a cause
"Z"---zeal for giving is what I hope you have achieved! Come up with your own service project!


The ones in bold we have done.  I have three more lined up for this month...

I think the kids really like doing service projects.  They seem to be more alert to situations that can "give" or "do".  So that is good, right!

Anyway... this is obvious the season of giving, but I want to make sure and do it all year round.  Not just.... in the season.
