Join the Quest to Bless Challenge

I am glad you have come to see what is going on at the Quest to Bless blog.  I am excited to get the Quest to Bless Challenge up and running!  My desire is to see a million people blessed in 2011 through the Quest to Bless Challenge....OBVIOUSLY I need your help.  As Christians, we need to show love and compassion to all of God’s creations whether saved or sinner.  As we bless others and give with a cheerful heart, His blessings will overflow in our lives beyond measure.  He tells us that if we will give even a cup of cold water to others we will not lose our reward.  Many scriptures instruct us to give.  Blessing someone does not have to be big.  Many times the small things mean as much as  the big things. 

Some of you may say, “I don’t have money to do this.”  You don’t have to.  You can bless from where ever you are in life.  We can all give a little of ourselves and provide an act of service for someone. 

So get creative and let’s see how many different ways we can be a blessing to each other.  If you will look around you, you will easily see opportunities.  Take advantage of those opportunities and make a difference in someone’s life today.  Bring encouragement to those around you.

EXAMPLES:


Here are few examples of ways to Bless to get you started!  Let's get started and share your ideas with us.  This first example is what inspired me to develop the Quest to Bless Challenge.


1.  When you are getting something from a drive through, (Chic-fil-a, McDonalds, Starbucks, etc) tell the cashier you want to pay for the order in the car behind you.  Give her a challenge card to give them when they get to the window to receive their order.  Instead of having to pay they will get their order and a challenge card telling them they have been blessed today.

2.  If you are standing at the pharmacy and someone is not able to get their medicine because they can't afford it, pay for a portion or all of their prescriptions and ask the clerk to put a blessing card in their bag showing they have received a blessing today.

3.  If you know a Single Mother or Father offer to babysit for them one night for them to have some free time and leave a challenge card showing you felt like blessing them.

4.  If an elderly couple or individual needs assistance getting to the doctor.  Offer to drive them and give them a challenge card showing them you cared enough to bless them.

5.  You are in line at the grocery store and feel impressed to buy the groceries in someone's basket, then do so and give them a challenge card . 

6.  Have extra gift cards in your wallet with $10 to $20 on them and be ready to give them to someone you see in need along with a challenge card to show them they have received a blessing.

7.  If your waiter or waitress has provided you excellent service or you can tell they may be having a bad day, leave an extra large tip or even one of the gift cards and a challenge card to show them they have received a blessing. 

8.  Stop by a Laundromat and pay for someone's laundry to be washed and dried and give them a challenge card showing them they have received a blessing.

Don't limit your blessing to only people you know personally.  Expand out and bless someone today you don't even know.  Let the love of Christ be shed abroad to our neighbors!!
