34 WILD CARD Kingsland Baptist Church ADULT

35 TIP #1 Look for ways to share with others how you see God using them. Example: You really show God s love in the way you encourage and support others.

36 TIP #3 Use written notes to bless others. Example: Drop someone a note, or text message early in the morning. Let them know you are praying for them.

37 TIP #5 Make Bible reading a part of your daily schedule. Example: It is much easier to study the Bible when you have a plan. You can find a devotional book at your local bookstore or find reading plans online. If you are looking for some tech tools, try starting with the YouVersion Bible App. Remember, it doesn t have to be complicated.

38 TIP #2 Find a way to serve in the community. Examples: Volunteer at a local homeless shelter, bake treats for local first responders and deliver them, visit a nursing home.

39 TIP #4 Bless a stranger. Example: Pay for a Drive-Thru meal for the person behind you. A small and kind gesture goes a long way. You never know - paying for someone's meal could start a chain reaction for others to do the same.

40 TIP #6 Take quiet moments alone with God. In solitude and silence we become quite enough to hear a voice that is not our own. This is the Voice we most need to hear. Example: Designate a place or chair in your home as your quiet time spot. Make sure it is void of any distractions. Use this spot to give God your undivided attention.
