December 9

Today’s kindness advent was leaving a treat for our trash guy.  He comes bright and early every Tuesday morning so last night we did our prep work.  I want this advent to always be something our kids participate in because I do think it helps cultivate a spirit of thankfulness and kindness during a season which can easily focus on our own personal wants.  I never want our kids to shy away from kindness.  Every morning as we drive to school I pray out loud over their day and always ask God to show them opportunities for kindness.

So they each colored and wrote a thank you note to our trash man.  The boys needed help with all their spelling, but chose their own words.  I want them to take ownership over their kindness.

This morning I ran our little package of goodies out to our trash can and placed it on top.

Year after year, this kindness act always makes our list and we always sit and wait with crossed fingers and toes that he sees the package before dumping it into his truck.  This little window gets fuller and fuller each year as their little bodies get bigger and bigger.

Hudson was mid getting dressed when he heard the trash truck coming.  This is serious anticipation.

Tomorrow we are giving coffee and donuts to our car rider line staff.  Everyday the exact same staff is outside working the car rider line…no matter the weather.  They’re crazy awesome!

Hope your week is off to a great start.  Hope you are spreading a little kindness in your own way.

Happy Tuesday!
