For May 22nd:

“…But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:3-4

      In each edition of this “Living a Life of Gratitude” Daily Devotional, we have been encouraged to show our gratitude to others (and ultimately to God) in a selfless way through anonymous acts of kindness. Anonymous acts are not always easy to pull off, but with some effort and a little creativity, it can happen. And the joy the giver receives is as abundant as the joy the recipient of the kindness experiences. When you have opportunities, try the ideas and experience the bountiful joy of blessing another in this most selfless way. Have fun!

#10-  Recycle magazines when you have finished reading them by donating them to an area assisted living or retirement home.

#11- I love filling up a parking meter before I pull out of the space. (This idea was sent in anonymously from one of our readers. Thank you for this great idea!!)

#12- You don’t have to search hard in any city to find someone combing the streets for littered aluminum cans that they will sell then for needed funds. Save them in a bag or box as you empty them at home. When your container is full give them to someone who is desperately seeking them on the streets.

Have fun!
