#SundayService



Today's #SundayService could be super fun - turn it into a game, a competition between created teams, and celebrate at the end of the day with an ice cream sundae bar or something sweet.

There are people in the neighborhoods of your communities who need help. Elderly people, disabled people, single parents, or that person who is working three jobs (as an example) and is just barely making it. Sometimes, in fact I think most often, it is the mundane things of our day-to-day in our homes that overwhelm us. Gutters that are clogged, shrubs that are overgrown, light fixtures and baseboards that need repair, just to name a few. And when those tasks get accomplished things feel a little easier to handle.

So today take care of some of those things for people who can't for whatever reason. Lighten the load for people today by doing those tasks they can't get to. I ran across this idea (below) on Pinterest which I think can make it even more fun to do.


Or create your own service oriented competition and share it with us - after you've shared it with recipients of the services of course.

Have fun lightening the loads of people in your neighborhoods! 

*Next #SundayService Sneak Peek: It's driving, even the kids can do this kind. Take this next week to do the following: find a local food pantry/bank, ask them what their needs are, pass around the word to friends & family & anyone else you talk to, gather some containers to collect food in.*

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
