Reviews for Make Their Day

[marypo-3 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

In Make Their Day, Karen Ehman presents creative ways to reach out and make a difference in the lives of others.
Some of my favorites were the book baskets (which involve gathering things that were meaningful in a book to gift along with it, including baked goods and vintage stocking stuffers such as oranges), the sneak-a-snack stations, and the "carrot" strawberries. And I enjoyed the anecdotes of how the author saw the impact that kindness had on the people she and others reached out to.
This book would be a good resource for those looking for creative opportunities to be a blessing to someone. I now want to go bake a big batch of muffins to share.

Ms. Ehman is one of my favorite authors! I love sharing, giving and doing for others. She always has beautiful, thoughtful and unique ideas to brighten people’s days and make them feels special. This book as with her others has practical ideas anyone can do. The majority without a lot of work or cost. They are flexible in that you can personalize them to fit your special giving situation. More than ever right now people need to be encouraged. As the book cover says there are 101 of these little treasures. I found them all to be uncomplicated and easy. The most impressive thing I found was that ALL of them are extraordinarily thoughtful, and that is something that really touches people’s hearts. One of my favorite of the 8 sections is “Throughout Your Day and Around the Town.” I love surprising people that work in the community as they are seldom recognized.This is not giving me a pat on the back as the Lord gets the credit, but I want to share a personal experience in this area. There was a woman at a very busy business in town. EVERYTIME I was there no matter how busy they were or how grumpy a costumer she was always patient, kind a wore a real smile. The Lord kept prompting to do something for her. So I put together a little bag, and wrote a letter telling her how much I appreciated her. She cried. Next time I went in she told me that day she had planned to take her life. She was so discouraged and alone. The tiny gift and note that only took a small amount of time gave her hope and made her want to go on. I learned that you never ever underestimate the impact of small acts of kindness as in this book. Remember, the gift you give is not truly the “gift”; the true gift is that you thought of them and cared.I received these books from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review. The opinions stated are my own.

New York Times bestselling author Karen Ehman advises how to "Make Their Day: 101 Simple, Powerful Ways to Love Others Well" in a positive little volume designed to "spark some love and spur on some good deeds". Simple acts of kindness and support may be just what your family, friends, and coworkers--even strangers--are needing just at the moment that you reach out to them. Everyone needs a spiritual boost and a physical pick-me-up now and then. Acknowledging someone with a fresh cup of coffee, a sweet treat, freshly-baked bread, or a hearty pot of homemade soup provides sustenance for body and soul. Sharing the load by helping with chores, reading and discussing the Bible together, and being a good listener will help to ease someone's burden and provide a spiritual uplift. Elaborate gifts pale in comparison to the ultimate gift of your time, your consideration, and your recognition of the needs of another, especially in times of hardship. Author Karen Ehman offers 101 ways to show care and awareness for others. She also includes delicious recipes for "Homemade Pretzels", "Six Twos" (homemade ice cream), "Sourdough Bread", "Fresh Garden Salsa", "Very Veggie Alphabet Soup", and "Senate Bean Soup".Book Copy Gratis Bethany House Books
