Random Acts of Kindness - Please Nominate Someone You Know Who Needs It

In 2014 there were 200,000 visitors to Lady of Lyme. While I am still in complete shock and awe at that number, my heart is also sad because that many people are going through (or know someone going through) this debilitating disease. For me it really put into perspective the scale of those who are globally hurting & looking for answers. The purpose of Lady of Lyme has always been outreach, and compiling every single bit of useful information I could research into one place. The goal was always (and will always be) to hopefully make everyone who visits feel a bit less alone in their journey.

With that being said, as I looked at 2015 and thought about resolutions I pondered about what I would want mine to be. I realized that what I wanted most of all is to make this year less about me & more about others. I believe firmly that God gave me this challenge and this outlet for a reason. I want to glorify Him in all that I do, and I felt like the perfect way to do it would be Random Acts of Kindness.

On any given day I have a hard time complaining because I know all the ways God has blessed my life. No matter the circumstances I begin each prayer giving thanks for all the good I experienced that day. I also know that so many others are out there really hurting (emotionally, physically or both), and those really tough times are hard to get through. When someone feels down and out its hard to see the blessings or feel the love. Often times they feel more alone than ever & think that no one cares.

So, for my Random Acts of Kindness project of 2015 I am asking you all if you know someone who could use some extra love. This is not limited to Lyme disease or any disease for that matter. This is about anyone who is having a hard time in any way shape or form. If you know a caregiver who could use a smile, or someone facing any kind of tough time please submit their names. For each month I will choose a person from your submissions and will send them a personalized gift basket which is completely anonymous. It will simply show up on their doorstep and my idea is to fill it with items that will lift them up, and hopefully bring them joy.

If you know someone who can use this please send me a direct email with the persons name, back story/info & address. All information will be strictly confidential and also all gifts will be delivered anonymously. The more info you can give me on their likes/dislikes and what things make them happy the more personalized I can make it.

I want to thank everyone who has something kind to say to me, or has lifted me up throughout the years. It's a long road to travel, but knowing that I have people behind me giving support has always meant the world.

xoxo,
Christina

Christina,
It's so exciting and inspiring to read your posts. Your growth as a follower of Jesus is evident as you struggle with Lyme. You are so right. Life is all about glorifying God who is more than worth it. You will be so blessed this year as you make it about others. And more importantly God will be lifted up.

I have been battling Lyme for three years and it often feels like three steps forward two steps back, but it has been very good for my spiritual life and for my relationship with my wife. While I certainly don't like this, I thank God for the growth it is pushing me to spiritually.

You go girl! I'm glad you are out there!

Tim,
I can't tell you how much your comment means to me, thank you so much for reading this blog & for your kind words of encouragement. Keep on fighting on my friend, 3 years is a long time but you have such a refreshingly optimistic attitude which comes from a strong relationship with God. He is in control, & it's wokferfil to know that he's got our back!
God bless!
Christina
