From Now OnSample

At the end of every week, we'll give you a challenge—something to try that might be outside your regular routine. Each challenge is designed to help you develop one important spiritual habit. This week, it's...

SPEND TIME WITH OTHERS

The people in our lives can have a big impact on our faith—and we can have a big impact on other people's faith too. But that doesn't happen by accident. Today's challenge is going to help you connect with at least one other person in a way that helps you (or maybe even both of you) grow!

CHALLENGE

Today, take time to be present with someone who is going through a difficult time. While together, don't worry about solving any problems or improving them. Just by being present, you can bring peace to their life. And it could be they want to talk about what they're going through, and just by being there you show that you care. Here are some ideas for ways you can be present without being pushy...

• Go on a hike or play frisbee in the park.
• Put together a jigsaw puzzle.
• Play video games.
• Share a meal.
• Run an errand together.
