One of my very favorite people is having a birthday Monday, August 13th! I have thought and thought about what I should give her for her birthday I just couldn't come up with an idea that made me happy......!
So I prayed about it, and asked for help in deciding what she may want! Those of you who know me, will understand how I received my answer! Pinterest of course! Click on this link and you'll understand a little better! http://mixmingleglow.com/blog/?p=1358
As I started to think about this I got excited, I knew it would be perfect for her, because she would rather give than receive! But I need your help!
I'm putting out a call to scrapbookers, stampers, crafters and just friends in general, to do a random act of kindness in honor of Essie Mack's birthday! I'm not going to tell you how old she is going to be, because I want her to continue being my friend! lol
If you participate, please come back here and post what you did for your rak! It can be anything, big or small, it doesn't matter!
You can perform this rak anytime between now and Monday at 5:00! Don't forget to post here, because A Scrap In Time is going to give a $50.00 gift certificate to one very lucky winner! Don't forget the pictures! After all, we are scrapbookers and this will be a fun memory!!
Please let all of your friends know about this and lets see how many people we can get to participate! Wouldn't it be great for Essie to have over 100 presents on her ______ birthday! No, she's not 100! Now she will kill me!
The state of one’s health is partly the result of life choices, but ultimately in God’s hands. I’m thanking Him for the state of health He’s entrusted me with today.
I RAK – the gift of giving: taken from this blog http://thinkingchristianwoman.com/2012/03/i-ran-and-i-rak-happy-birthday.html
Luke the physician recorded Paul the apostle quoting Jesus the Christ in Acts 20:35, “You’ll not likely go wrong here if you keep remembering that our Master said, ‘You’re far happier giving than getting.’” (that’s the Message version of “it is more blessed to give than to receive.”)
One translation of the Greek word “blessed” is “oh how happy,” so in that context, happy birthday could be thought of as blessed birthday.
Thanks everyone, I know I can count on you to help make this a Happy Birthday for our friend and insipration Essie Mack!!!
If you go to the blogs I tagged, you will get some awesome ideas! I love what some of the posters did for their friends!
Well, I was waiting to let others post their rak, but the clock is ticking.....
We went to Books A Million this weekend and I left 4 notes with $5.00 gift cards in books for some very lucky readers! I hope they go to someone who needs them. I also paid for breakfast for a couple of very cute kids, when their debit card wouldn't work!
I have been wanting to share a rak someone else shared with my husband and I. A few weeks back, it was VERY HOT and our car broke down! We were in between Bluewater Bay and the College on the new bypass. We were there for almost 2 hours! Six people stopped to check on us! I was amazed that 2 of them were women! (Most women are afraid to stop) 2 military guys on motorcycles! And then one guy that stopped, went to the store, bought us 2 big bottles of icy Dasani water and came all the way back to give it to us! That made my day, he didn't have to do it, he was probably on his way home! Really restored my faith in people, and I hope hes gets repaid a million times! Thank you nice man! :)
Ok crafters, don't be shy, PLEASE Share what your rak was! Hugs Lisa B

Lisa this is what I did for the RAK for Essie. I know many kids need lunch money for school so I wrote a check for a couple of them and will take it on Mon. They won't know who gave it and that is how I like it. Thanks for thinking of do
ing this for Essie. What a marvelous idea. However, I like what the bible says about not letting your right hand know what your left hand does. I like to keep my RAK'S secret. We try to do at least one RAK daily and it can be anything. Many of them don't cost anything but a little time.Picture on facebook page!

My random act of kindness was at work today it was super busy and I put in a coworkers entire patient VS list for her without saying anything. It was 17 sets and we were both behind in our work. She was so surprised and I jsut blew it off as if it were nothing. It flet good to do this for her.
