I came across a great idea called Blessing Bags over at KWVAS... What a great thing to hand out to the homeless or the man who asks you for change... It be a lot better then staring at him like Ummm I am broke or that uncomfortable feeling you get when they stare at you at the red light.. or that could just be me...
Here is what you will need:
Gallon size Ziplock bags
items to go in the bags, such as:
chap stick
packages of tissues
toothbrush and toothpaste
comb
soap
trail mix
granola bars
crackers
pack of gum
band aids
mouthwash
coins (could be used to make a phone call, or purchase a food item)
hand wipes
you could also put in a warm pair of socks, and maybe a Starbucks gift card
Assemble all the items in the bags, and maybe throw in a note of encouragement. Seal the bags and stow in your car for a moment of providence.
My daughter found this idea fun and exciting, so we are doing it as a family!
Here are a few more ideas to pay it forward this Friday....
Make sure you tell me what you do!!
