Monday, February 12th 2024 – As the kick-off to TCG’s Love and Kindness Week, we are rolling out a love and kindness challenge each day this week to everyone we are in contact with. Today’s challenge is a simple but powerful act for everyone, including the kids:
Drop a note to a co-worker telling them how great you think they are. This could be an e-mail, Teams message, or even better – a hand-written note. Bonus points if it’s a co-worker that you don’t interact with all that much. Ask your kids to go out of their way today to be kind to a kid at school that doesn’t always get included, maybe sit with them at lunch.
A few years ago, we were notified of a local Middle School student that left a note, indicating they were contemplating self-harm. Immediately, we came together with the community and created the “I am Loved/You are Loved” campaign to rally around everyone at the school, including the unknown child. From there, we branched-out beyond El Dorado Middle School to High Schoolers and beyond, to everyone TCG touches throughout our daily work. Thousands of t-shirts and banners with the below logo were printed and given away as a constant reminder that we are all loved and worthy of love.
This small but powerful affirmation can be the difference for someone with a negative outlook about themselves. Let’s ensure we reach out today, and make today’s love and kindness challenge something we are doing everyday, not just during Love Day/Week/Month.
If you or anyone you know is interested in an “I am Loved/You are Loved” t-shirt or banner, please visit our website: www.tcgfm.com or contact our Corporate Chaplain, Pastor Wade Graber at: chaplain@tcgfm.com
