It’s Random Acts of Kindness Week! Let’s do something nice for someone!

Every year, Random Acts of Kindness Week is celebrated February 14-20, and the National Random Acts of Kindness Day is tomorrow (Friday Feb. 17).

This morning on the show, we shared some of the history behind Random Acts of Kindness. It was a term first coined by Anne Herbert in 1982 in California. She wrote the phrase “practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty” on a placemat in response to some violent phrase that someone else had written. She wanted to end senseless violence. She wrote a children’s book in 1993 to teach children about showing kindness to others. Since then, we’ve celebrated Random Acts of Kindness.

There’s many ways to celebrate! You can perform those random acts of kindness for other people, read books that inspire you, and help inspire other people.

We also shared some stories about how people have been impacted by random acts of kindness. We shared stories of snow days, holding the door open for others, helping a stranger in need, and being present with other people. These stories are inspiring and will give you some ideas of how you can show kindness during Random Acts of Kindness Week.

The Rineharts Arrive in Albany, GA!

We are here! Praise the Lord, after two flights we have arrived in Albany to visit the set of Courageous – the new movie from Sherwood Pictures. We arrived at the Albany airport to smiling faces holding Courageous signs directing us to a big air-conditioned bus. (Thank goodness because it’s 92 degrees)

We are part of a group of media partners and action squad leaders from across the country. We are headed out to dinner at a local barbeque place (Joe says Yummy!) to meet each other and some of the movie cast and crew. We each have a set pass and will get to see the action tomorrow.

At the airport, we got a chance to meet Ken Bevel, who played Lt. Michael Simmons in Fireproof. He was the firefighter that challenged his best friend (Kirk Cameron) to stay true to his marriage vows.
Ken is back for Courgeous playing Nathan Hayes, a Sheriff’s officer with three children: a teenage daughter, a son in grade school, and a toddler, who is played by Ken’s real son.

Courageous will challenge fathers to rise up to be the leaders God calls them to be. Sherwood Church hopes that Courageous will do for fathers what Fireproof did for marriages.
