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

Day 32 in Review

Prayer: Yes
Scripture: Yes
Silence: Yes (a three-fer this morning in church, which I was able to attend by myself...a rare treat)

The Deed/The Day: I have to admit this day did not produce deliberate acts of kindness. Although there were plenty that occurred — many centering around church, which should give me a big hint. I complimented a Sunday School guest who held the door for me on the way in to our classroom and made a big deal about his manners. I think this sweet little fourth-grader liked that. I told him I hoped he'd come back — every Sunday if he could. "I want to," he told me.

Words of encouragement/advice: Father Tom said during his morning sermon that "we can't without God, and God won't without us." It's a two way street!

Final thoughts: Summer is here if today's 90-degree heat was any indicator.
