How Big Can You Give?
March 31, 2008
I don’t know if you’ve seen any of Oprah’s latest show “The Big Give” on ABC, but it is very inspiring! Ten contestants were chosen to show how they can give big based on each week’s challenges. They’ve given away money, connected with communities, paid car bills, reached out to those in need, completed random acts of kindness, and so much more. It has challenged me to ask myself each day, “How can I give big? Can I give bigger?” Anyone can be the recipient: my own family, every girl that comes to our site, or a stranger I meet on the street.
So, I would love to hear about one of your recent random acts of kindness or how you’re giving big. Maybe we can all inspire one another. I was thinking about how amazing it would be if every single person in the world took on Oprah’s challenge. Can you just imagine how the power of these simple acts could change things? It’s pretty awsesome! Well, I’m going to go see what random act I can carry out today.
We actually did this as a “I dare you” in one of my classes. My teacher would give us one and challenge us to do it. It was actually fun.
