Prayer: yes, during a nice long shower
Scripture: yessirree!
Silence: Not much silence here,but tried to tune out
The deed/The Day: got one deed out of the way early...at Starbucks. I held the door for two gals coming out with their coffee. They said, I like your coat! I said, I like your sweater! It was a very complimentary morning! NYBa and I envisioned us duking it out falling over each other to deed people today. But it all worked out. She put a bill in a beggers cup. Good one! One of the last places we stopped today was a kids sock store. We were getting the girls a little treat. The poor woman behind the register started rubbing her head in pain when she was checking me out. i thought she was going to have one of those brain attacks! Instead of tuning out, I asked her if she was OK and then remembered I had baggy full of Advil in my purse. She was thankful to have some.
And now we're off for some off color irreverent humor at Book of Mormon. Ciao!
What happens when you deliberately tweak your conscience to be more aware of meeting others' needs? Every day? And if it happens to be Lent...for 40 days? What does that look like? What deeds would transpire? What blessings come back? How do we listen for direction? Wake up each morning and decide to be intentional about bringing others better into focus with a little prayer, silence and scripture. Let the daily deeding commence! #DoingUntoOthers #OthersFirst #OneDeedADayGo
How to Do-Good
Quick How-To Guide: Start the day with a little silence, scripture (via Forward Day by Day, if you choose) and prayer. Then open your eyes and make it a practice to be hyper-aware of who and what's going on around you. Deploy that deed with confidence when God gives you his signature gentle nudge. This may feel awkward and unnatural. #NoWorries #GoWithIt #DeedWellDone #BlessingsEnsueJustWait
