Miracle Soup Day 18

As you know, this week we are alternating between tithes and services. Just as you have already provided a miraculous act of service for a friend, today your exercise is to perform a significant service for a stranger.

TODAY'S RECIPE

Remember, a "significant service" needn't be large or complicated in scope. It just means that whatever you are providing will make a difference to the recipient.

Today, put aside 10-15 minutes for the following visualization exercise:

Close your eyes and pretend you are watching yourself in a dream, or on a movie screen. See yourself going through various acts of "random kindnesses", providing wonderfully helpful services to strangers. Allow yourself to imagine one scenario after another, each in great detail.

You offer a service to the first stranger: what do you do? How does she respond? Then you go on to your next "good deed": what happens there? In your imagination, walk yourself through a beautiful day of connecting with strangers at every turn, offering services that help them significantly.


Then, open your eyes and answer the following questions in your journal:

- What kinds of services were you performing in your mind's eye?

- Which ones were most joyful?

- What kind of strangers were you connecting with?

- Which people were the most wonderful to connect with?

- Did you have any negative experiences or resistances?

- What act of service can you perform for a stranger today? Do you want to plan something specific? Or simply keep your eyes open for someone who could use your help?

Then use the recipe card for SERVICE TO A STRANGER to make a plan and record your act of service for today. Record your responses and the other person's.

And that's it for today!
