Miracle Soup Day 16

Your challenge today is to plan your first act of MIRACULOUS SERVICE.

Think back to the times when someone else did something for you that really made a difference. Most likely, your memories will serve as proof that meaningful services don't have been complicated, elaborate, or over-the-top. Often, meaningful service is deceptively simple.

For our purposes, a miraculous service is one that will make a significant difference to the recipient, which you offer without expectation of reciprocation, exchange, or benefit. A miraculous service can be anything...

- A truly heartfelt comment
- A surprise gift
- A helpful favor

...the possibilities are endless!

By engaging in GIVING miracles, you open yourself to the wonderful feeling of pure service, as well as the experience of fulfilling abundance as you realize HOW MUCH you really have to give.

TODAY'S RECIPE

Today's assignment is to use the first "recipe card" in your recipe card booklet to plan a miraculous service to offer a friend of yours.

Here are some guidelines for your service act:

- Select something that you can complete fairly quickly, i.e., today...or this week.
- Pick something that brings YOU joy when you think about it
- It can be something that you either do anonymously for your friend, or with your friend's knowledge that you are the giver

Write down your plan on the recipe card, and follow it up with a few words about your experience AND your perception of your friend's experience. (These notes are important, so be sure to include them!)

Welcome to the world of giving miracles....warning: giving miracles can be addictive! And this is just the beginning!

See you tomorrow for your introduction to tithing.
