This Tuesday is Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday falls on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving every year, and is meant to be a day spent doing for others. You can give money. You can give your time. You can give of yourself. You simply need to give what you have. Anyone can participate and everyone should!

Here is a list of simple yet kind acts that anyone can do this Giving Tuesday.

1. Ask a stranger how their day is going

2. Pay for someone's coffee

3. Call your grandma

4. Put someone's shopping cart back at the grocery store

5. Reach out to a friend you have lost touch with

6. Pray for someone

7. Bake cookies for your neighbor

8. Smile at the people you walk past

9. Tell your mom about your day

10. Make Christmas cards for soldiers

11. Spend some time with the elderly, sick, and home bound

12. Pick up garbage outside

13. Volunteer at your local animal shelter

14. Do someone else's chores

15. Serve a meal at a soup kitchen

16. Forgive someone who has wronged you

17. Leave an uplifting note on a strangers car

18. Buy dinner for a homeless person

19. Give some of your belongings those who need them

20. Tell someone you love them

The best part is, everyday can be just like Giving Tuesday. It costs nothing to be a good person, yet means everything to the person receiving the gift of your talent, time, or treasure. Give what you can and what you have this Tuesday, and everyday. It's what we are called to do.

Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you. -Deuteronomy 16:17

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
