10.ย Purchase some coffee house gift cards and attached a tag to each. Go into the hospital waiting room and hand them out to folks there who look like they could use a good cup of coffee. “I just whispered a prayer for you.”
9.ย Take your kids to the local grocery store. If it is snowing then scrape windshields in the parking lot. If not, offer to carry out the groceries for elderly people you see. Hand them a tag with a small treat attached. “Know that you are greatly respected.”
8. Purchase gift cards for local restaurants that deliver and attach some of your tags to them. Take one to your pastor or church secretary. They can order their lunch in on a busy day. “Bless you for faithfully serving us all year long.”
7. Place a candy bar or homemade treat in your mailbox for the mail carrier. Be sure to attach a tag. “You do your job so well. Bravo!“
6. If you have small children, have them color some pictures or paint some adding glitter and stickers. Then, take them to the local nursing home and hand them out to the residents.ย “I just whispered a prayer for you.”
5. If you live in an area where there is a lot of snow on the ground, make snowmen outside of the windows of a nursing home or hospital children’s ward. Be sure to get permission first.
4. Hand a tag to the worker at the drive-through window and pay for the person’s order behind you. Instruct the worker to give the tag to the person when giving them their food. “Just wanted you to know, you rock!“
3. Assemble a fruit or vegetable tray and cover with plastic wrap and attach a tag and a bow on top. Take it to the local police or fire station thanking them for their hard work all year long. “You have a God-given gift for serving others.“
2. Does your high school graduating class have a Facebook page? Look up the person from your high school days who was the meanest to you. Leave a message on their wall wishing them a happy Valentine’s Day!ย “I just whispered a prayer for you.”
1.ย Take in a plate of homemade goodies to your child’s teacher’s lounge at school. Attach one of the tags to the plate of goodies. “Thank you for the influence you’ve been on my child.” (For some great recipes of what to make,ย click here)
