Quality Time Shows Gratitude

Another way to show gratitude is to offer your time. We only have twenty-four hours in each day. Today is a day to give some of your time away. Do it in some of the following ways…

Listen to a friend.

Hang out with the kids.

Volunteer at church.

Say “yes” to a business presentation you’ve been avoiding.

Show you are thankful for a relative by organizing a get-together.

Set some of your personal time apart to give it away.

Gratitude is made loud and clear when you share quality and quantity moments. Say, “I am thankful” by being selfless with your schedule.

Pay it forward. You’ve probably heard of this idea before. Basically, do something kind to someone anonymously. Pick something you would like done to you, like having your order paid for at a restaurant. Pay it forward. Or, backwards. Pay for the order behind you at a drive-thru window. Whatever you choose, do it in a way where you won’t receive any credit or thanks. Trust that the person receiving the gift will be grateful and one day will repeat the favor. Unexpected gifts are the best.That’s today’s Gratitude Challenge.
