Progress: Day 49, February 18
Progress made today:
1) Decluttering and Garage Sale Preparation: I realized that I had not gone through the stamp wheels and handles. I divided the wheels and handles according to size, packaged them, and priced them for the garage sale.
2) Outreach: I prepared lotion, nail polish, and manicure kits to be donated to a women's shelter via my church's women's fellowship group. I was able to get some really good deals at Gordman's department store after Christmas. I got 24 bottles of nail polish, 14 tubes of hand lotion and 9 manicure kits for only $20.00! I took everything out of the packaging and then I decorated the nail polish and lotions with ribbon and a paper heart. I placed a "You Are Loved" card from my church inside the manicure kits. I wanted the women to feel loved and special. I pray they will.
3) Reading: I read a few chapters in the book By Signs and Wonders How The Holy Spirit Grows The Church by Stephen D. Elliott.

Have you ever taken extra time when making a donation of items to package the items so as to make people feel special to receive them? Do you think kind words or a smiley face or a paper heart or ribbon will bring hope and joy and encouragement to someone? How do you think it will make you feel when you take a little extra time to enhance the items you give? Perhaps it will make you feel more invested in those people, more connected, more involved than you would otherwise. Let me know your thoughts and feelings about this.
