Happy Easter, everyone! I love Easter and everything about it.  Our church service always has a real party feel to it,  the signs of spring are all around in nature, and obviously, Creme Eggs play a vital part in day to day life! Besides being a celebration of the greatest day in history, it always feels like there’s a real sense of new life and freshness about everything at Easter, and I often feel more like making resolutions now than I do in January when tradition tells me that I should.  I read about a mission that my friend, Bek, is involved in at the moment, in which she takes hot drinks to people selling The Big Issue in town on a Saturday morning, and on her blog, she talks about the way in which it is often through small acts that big things begin to happen.  It reminded me of the way in which there was a sudden surge of publicity about ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ a while ago, where people performed small acts of ’unexpected’ kindness, often for strangers, just to share love and positivity. One of my favourites was people at toll bridges paying for the people in the car behind even though they were strangers.  Imagine their surprise when they got to the booth, and were told they had already been paid for!  The idea was not to get a major reaction, but simply to share kindness.  Not enough of this goes on in the world today.  In our cell group, we also talked about how it is often in the smaller, practical acts you do for people, that the greatest love is often shown.  And so, putting all this together, I have decided that this year, I am going to ignore the January resolution trend (which is a good job, because this year it involved getting fit, and I abandonded it before January was out!) and go with my heart, which feels that Easter is all about new life and fresh starts.  My resolution is to do something kind (and random, which for a planning freak like me is the harder part) every day. I think I will start with small things within my comfort zone, but hope that as the days go on, I will feel brave enough to step out either in the task, or in the person that I choose to be on the receiving end.  Why don’t you all join me?  Who knows what we can achieve!
