Welcome to We Care Wednesdays. Each Wednesday we want to talk about things the bother us no matter how big or small. Plus, we want to challenge everyone to do a little RAK (random act of kindness) during the upcoming week. We will be giving a suggestion for something simple to do. What we would really like is for you to be part of this and to give us suggestions, too.

One thing that can get on my nerves while driving is people that think they need to pull right up on your bumper at a stop light. I feel like these people are so close to me that they can read the tag on the back of my shirt. And yes, I have just admitted to the entire Internet that I sometimes do not pay attention in the morning and I walk out of the house with my shirt tag showing. What I don’t understand it do people not know that it is a safety risk to get that close to the car in front of you. I have seen way too many accidents where there are cars sandwiched in the middle of a multi-car pile up because everyone was pulled up right behind each other.

Now let’s move on to our RAK of the week. This week I want to talk about leaving a little note for someone. Take a post-it note or small piece of paper and write a little something on it. Some things you might write down could be “You are loved” or “God loves you. ” You could do this for your family or leave the note somewhere in public. I had an experience several weeks ago at the market where I was standing at the deli counter trying to decide on what to get for dinner when someone walked by and said “God loves you.” I turned around but didn’t see anyone else there so they must have been talking to me. It gave me a wonderful feeling to hear that for no reason.

So let’s start off with a little annoyance that for some reason bothers the heck out of me. I always park towards the back of the parking lot where ever I go shopping.   I like to have the space in front of me empty so I can pull out instead of backing out. However, it never fails that someone will pull into the space in front of me while I am in shopping. This happens to me all the time. Even at 6am when I go to the market on the weekends. There can be hundreds of free spaces in the lot, and I will end up with someone parking in front of me. Yes, it is stupid for this to bother me. But it does. So now I just try to laugh about it. So what little things bug the dickens out of you?

Today’s RAK: Since I mentioned the market, there is something I started doing a while ago to see when kind of reactions I would get. If there is someone behind you in the checkout line, place the divider behind your items so that person can start putting their items on the conveyer belt. Sometimes it will take people by surprise. Since I started doing this some time ago, I am noticing more people doing the same thing. Only once have I had a gentleman make a smart remark about it. I just looked at him and smiled. No response is sometimes more powerful than a quick comeback.

We encourage you to participate and add your link below to the link-up.  We will be offering this every Wednesday until further notice and look forward to reading your words!   If you don’t have a blog to link up, feel free to write in the comment section!   If you do link up a blog post, please visit anyone that may link up as well to keep the sense of community going!

We would like to introduce everyone to a new regular feature here on Light Love Hope; We Care Wednesdays. Each Wednesday, beginning on June 4, 2014, we would like to ask you to post anything that may be on your mind that is giving you stress at the moment; no matter how small you may think it is. Everyone needs to vent once in a while, and we are here for you to do so.

Also, each Wednesday we would like to promote a little happiness in the world with a suggestion of a small random act of kindness or RAK. We would love suggestions from you, too. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate or cost anything as some of the most meaningful things done for people don’t cost a single thing.

Are you ready to accept the challenge?  We hope so!

We can touch lives and make a difference … together.  One person at a time.
