I'm sitting on the couch watching Oprah... catching up on DVR shows and working on home school lessons. Today's show in particular is about big surprises that Oprah has been able to give a variety of people throughout the years. 
It's amazing to see the reaction on the faces of people who have been given the opportunity to meet a favorite celebrity, warm up with their dream professional baseball team, own a home when they had been homeless. My personal favorite, Rwandan refuges are united with their parents that they had been separated from for 12 years.

My personal favorite, Rwandan refuges are united with their parents that they had been separated from for 12 years. I admit, I'm an emotional person and the tears come easily. It's so exciting for me to see these people being given so much after life circumstances had taken so much away. What an amazing feeling it is just to WATCH someone ELSE give amazing gifts to people who are so deserving. I can't help but desire to experience that amazing act of giving myself! Imagine how much sweeter it is to be the giver.
One month to live... a chance to give. I'm going to find as many opportunities to change someones life by giving! I challenge you to do the same and share your experiences with your girlfriends! We may not be able to introduce our friends to a celebrity, but I'm sure you can think of gifts that will change their outlook or change their lives! Cook a meal; clean a house; watch a child so someone can have a much needed date night. Buy a bag of groceries, drive someones child to soccer practice, or write a card telling someone how amazing they are when you don't usually take the time. Fill a tank with gas, invite someone to church, mow a lawn. The opportunities are endless.
Don't forget, Jesus said that when we do for the least of these, it's as if we're serving HIM directly! I'm anxious to hear about all the creative ways you find to give this month!
