Chalk and Chill

Hey Ya'll,

This is Teesh :D

So this week I glanced in the back of my car and noticed that there was some stuff brae and I bought for the 17 things which we had started a couple weeks ago.  So I decided to take some action and do some more blessing this week. Brae has been busy working so I decided to ramble up a friend of mine to help out!
We did two things. The first thing we did was we put some change in an envelope. And wrote on top "On us" "Love Tesh, Brae and my friend" We took this envelope to the new red box our town got which is right by walmart. The red box is like a vending machine for movies. So pretty much the money went toward someone renting a free movie or two.

The second thing we did was we brought a box of chalk to a local park. We placed it on the sidewalk and wrote in chalk "If you found this chalk you can keep it! God Bless, and have fun" Love Tesh and brae. The really cool thing is a couple days after, we went to check to see if someone had picked it up and someone had. And they even wrote back!!!!!! :D :D :D You could tell it was a kid who wrote it.. It said "Thank you very much" That reply just made me so happy!

 

sorry bad quality is was night time by the time we got here

In purple it says Thank You

17 Things

Okey Dokey!
So this week is super EXCITING for brae and I! First of all WE TURN 17!!! Brae on the 3rd and I on the 4th!
In celebration of us turning 17 we thought we would try and take this Tesh and Brae thing to a whole new level! We planned to do 17 different things to bless others!
As we started we realized this was an impossible goal, to do all in one day! So we decided to split it into two! We did most of them the other day, and plan to finish the rest within the next couple days! and will be posting more about how those go.. But for now I wanna tell you about the first 9 things.

    NUMBA 1.  We handed out three Starbucks gift cards to people walking into the store.
This one was a lot of fun! The first two were hesitant and asked questions like "why".. But the third one was Absolutely THRILLED! She lit up in smiles and kept saying "thank you" and "you guys are awesome". She also gave us each a huge hug! This reaction was a reminder that little things do matter! They can change someones day completely around! So why not do it? 

    NUMBA 2.  Let someone go in front of us in a line
Something Simple but the lady REALLY appreciated it!

    NUMBA 3.  Wrote Positive words on a change room mirror
Didn't get to see a reaction on this one, but we're hoping that seeing the words "You look Beautiful" made someone feel better about themselves, sometimes loving your body and the way you look is hard.

    NUMBA 4.  Left 3 random encouraging notes on three different benches in the mall
Again didn't see reactions but hoping someone picked them up! And enjoyed are encouragement! They deserve it!

    NUMBA 5.  Left a Present at a Random door
This one was kind of funny how it worked out! see.. we got lost trying to find a dollar store.. and ended up down a residential st. and decided thats where we gunna drop it off. I picked a parking spot by the only spot open.. and the house we landed in front of was the one we dropped off the present! The present contained candy, a note and a little trophy type thing that said "you are loved" Hoping they felt blessed and special as well!

             
     NUMBA 6.  Left change in an envelope and left it at payphone saying "on us" "love tesh and brae"
Didn't see who used it but hoping someone was able to make a call without paying!

     NUMBA 7. Handed out balloons at park
We had two balloons that said "you're special" and we handed them out to two families. The first family was a young couple. And the second was a family with three kids. We gave it to one of the kids.

    NUMBA 8. We gave out two stuffed Animals (Webkinz) to two kids at the park.
These two kids were apart of the same family that we gave the balloon to. These kids had so much joy knowing these gifts were for them! They felt special and just seeing how happy it made them is why me and brae do tesh and brae day. The mom was taken away by the whole idea. She couldn't believe we did this.. just cause! She was telling her kids how awesome it was. And as we walked away I heard the kids say "what animal did you get" haha! Hope they enjoy and maybe in the future they will remember how awesome it was to receive a random act of kindness and will hopefully encourage them to do the same to someone else one day!

   NUMBA 9. We brought the Winkler/Morden hospital a colouring book and markers for people waiting in the waiting room.
As you all know waiting for the doctor can be lonngggg wait. So we thought we would leave some stuff there for kids to enjoy. The front desk lady we talked to was thrilled! She thought it was a real nice gesture! YAY! Hopefully lots of people can be blessed by this one!
