Be Present Service Challenge–Week 4

Can you believe how fast this challenge is speeding by? I hope you’re starting to see how easy it is to make small little changes that make big differences. So far we’ve completed:

  • Love Yourself
  • Love Your Spouse
  • Love Your Kids

And this week we’re focusing on loving our friends!

  • Week 4 – Love Your Friend Printable

This is when people usually tend to panic and doubt themselves. We’re no longer serving inside our own home and sometimes we get so caught up in our gift being perfect that we tend to overthink it.

I get it, we all want our actions to be received well, but I promise, most times it really is the thought that counts. But hopefully we’ll help give you a little confidence this week.

1. Write a note - How often do we express our love and appreciation for our friends? I know I don’t do it enough. One of the sweetest gifts I received after we lost Preslee was handwritten notes. They were a treasure and so personable. Though they were often sent to express their condolences, many wrote incredibly nice things and I couldn’t help but save them. They did a wonder for my spirits, and helped give me confidence.

With e-mail and texts, handwritten notes seem to be rare these days, so let’s take some time to send a note to the people we love most. It doesn’t have to be lengthy, just express your gratitude for the role they play in your life.

2. Send a gift – Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve learned about some friends experiencing difficult times. Some live close, others are childhood friends spread out across the country. My goal is to send a couple small gifts (along with a personal note) to them in hopes to brighten their day.

And remember, they don’t have to be struggling, with anything, sometimes my favorite thing to do is send a gift just because or one that contains an inside joke! Let’s let our friends know we truly care for them.

3. Serve them – This is my favorite way to serve friends. I love grabbing small things and leaving it on their doorstep with a quick little text. I love the surprise aspect to brighten their day and it doesn’t take have to take a up a lot of time. When you’re out and about grab them a treat or a drink, babysit their kids, or even send them an uplifting text. I promise they’ll appreciate the effort your putting into your friendship.

Here is a FREE PRINTABLE to help you make some cute and inexpensive gifts.

Good luck this week! Let me know how it goes. Make sure to follow along on Instagram as we’ll be hosting another givewaway. This week we’ll be giving away two prizes, one for you, and one for a friend!

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
