Got a minute?

Invest an hour in someone's life today that you wouldn't normally (child, neighbor, stranger, etc).

Nice pants!

Go up to a stranger and give them a sincere (non-creepy) compliment.

Thankfulness

Write down 7 things for which you are thankful and place it in prominent place where you will see it throughout the day.

Worldview

Ask God to let you see the world through His eyes today.

Love for the Season

Here at a Risk a Day headquarters, we have enjoyed time celebrating Christmas, meanwhile letting a Risk a Day lapse a few days. We hope you have a great time celebrating Christmas / New Year holidays with loved ones, and taking everyday risks in your walk with Christ!

Since this is a hard time of year for many, today's risk is to spend 10-15 minutes with someone who is lonely this season, has lost a loved one this year, is elderly or is just not at peace.

Long time...

Contact a person whose been on your heart or haven't spoken to recently and tell them you're praying for them.

Love, joy, peace.....

Live one fruit of the spirit today - speak it, live it, do it.

Return to sender

Leave a treat in your mailbox for your mail carrier along with a note of thanks.

Be happy for someone else....

Take a moment today to consciously battle envy.  Tell someone around you that you are are happy for them and their success.

My daily bread

Memorize a verse of scripture and live it out today.

Save a fiver.... Explanation and start-up

"Save a fiver" is and will be a regular feature on A Risk A Day.  Each of these risks will involve foregoing a regular purchase or expense (of about $5) in a focused and intentional effort to put those resources to better use for Kingdom ministry.  This risk will only be a once or twice a month occurrence.

In order for this to be a simple and successful daily risk, you will first need to determine a method by which the "fiver" you save can be transfered from it's usual purpose to a more worthy cause of your choosing.

The two most obvious methods are to set aside an envelope or similar place into which your $5 can be physically placed until you have determined where the Lord is leading you to give.  The other - for those who use non-cash methods of payment - is to set up a sub account at your bank to which you can transfer and hold this amount for future use.

Your risk today is to determine the method that works best for you...

Just a little cleaner

Pick up 10 pieces of trash outside.  Recycle what you can and put the rest in a garbage can.

Wow, I never knew that!

Learn one new and interesting thing about another culture and then pray for those people today.  Share your newly learned fact in a comment.

Clearing out the closets

Survey your home and box up 25 food items you won't eat or things that you won't use to be delivered to a local charity at a later date (when you choose).

And on the seventh day...

Celebrate the Sabbath by eliminating the busyness that occupies so much of our lives.  Be still and listen to God's voice.  

Jesus loves you!

Take the time to pointedly and seriously tell someone that they are loved by God today.

Tomorrow is the day!

This is your official notification that ARiskADay.org will launch TOMORROW!
