Year of Kindness: The Kindness Ninja

Have you ever noticed that showing kindness

to the people we live with

can often be one of the hardest tasks around?

Since this is "The Year of Kindness"

in The Fantastic Five household,

I decided I needed to be proactive-

and get creative-

and find ways to encourage between our family members.

Enter...

...the Kindness Ninja.

Inspired by THIS post over on

Here We Are Together,

I fashioned up a Ninja for our household

out of a peg doll,

'cause I do not crochet like that.

;0)

The Kindness Ninja was introduced into our home

one morning at breakfast time.

He came bearing gifts of cinnamon rolls.

While the kiddos ate, I explained that this Ninja

would be living in our house this year.

Anyone is welcome to complete an act of kindness

for someone else in the house-

such as doing someone else's chores

or leaving an encouraging note-

and then leave the Ninja at the location

of the Kindness Act.

The Ninja will then be placed back on my  desk,

ready to go back into service

for the next act of kindness.

During our breakfast, I also introduced

the new devotional study

we will be doing together in 2015...

...Jesus Calling.

I love this study because there is a version for all of us-

Adult, Teen, Tween, and Child!

And it didn't take too long for the Ninja to see

some action after our breakfast...

A few days later, both Super Dad and I received notes

from the Ninja-

so sweet!

He has also cleaned the entire bathroom

for the girls

(aka Their brother did their bathroom chores

for them).

Can't wait to see what he accomplishes throughout the year!
