#BeHisGood
It's week one of our Be His Good Challenge! Thank you for joining us. Up first on our list to reach out to and thank with a simple act of kindess is your local Florist!
I love this time of year with all the fresh flowers and greenery, be it the outdoor nursery or your local flower shops. If my husband weren't allergic to bees and my thumb was green and not brown, my yard would be filled with flowers. So this week we want to send back the love to you local florists and nursery and greenhouse gurus.
Craft:

A Flower. Do one of these beautiful flowers or create a version or even a whole bouquet. Use any supplies you want or follow the instructions listed below the photos in the link. Also take this time to explain all the care that goes into flowers that these beautiful people do every day to your children. Explain that plants need water, soil and sun. By the end of this craft, you'll be able to home-school your children! (just kidding)
You can take it a step further and even explain that they have the ability to plant a seed for God in others by sharing the Gospel and who Jesus is! Then along the way it is up to God to put others in their life to water and help it grow. However if you are like my family, mad chaos happens with the glue, scissors and markets and any plans to enlighten or educate the children quickly goes out the window.
Challenge:
After the project is finished, write a simple thank you whether on the back of the artwork or a separate card. Find your local nursery or flower shop and hand off your beautiful artwork.
Then spread the word!
Take a photo and post on Facebook or instagram and use the #BeHisGood or feel free to email me and I’ll post for you ;) carly@sixnotesclothing.com . Then encourage others to join you in saying thank you to their local flower shops and nurseries for all that they do in providing us smiles with fresh flowers. Am I not right ladies... if a husband brings home flowers... you instantly smile and love him a bit more.
Thank you for joining my children and I this week in being His good
Not a flower fan? here are additional ideas:
City Bus Drivers, Pediatricians, Nurses, Bus Boys, Waitresses, Construction Workers, Neighbors, your neighbor’s dog. Think anyone people…
Not feelin’ crafty:
buy donuts, bake cookies, color a picture (we hold on to old coloring pictures and send out sometimes!) pay for the people behind you in the drive thru… or just buy a $5 gift card! Options are endless. There is no bad way to thank a person. (I guess if you get technical there is)
