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 80

Scripture: Ps 75, 76, 23, 27; Romans 15:1-13; Luke 9:1-17


Scripture standout: Romans 15: "1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up."


Morning thoughts: Hmmmmmm. Still half-asleep...


The Deed/The Day: You know, I'm going to say pin care again...but with a different perspective. I tried Maundy Thursday's foot-washing service this Easter. It was exhilarating. What physical way of humbling before others! I began to think of other fun Lenten "experiments" after doing that. Maybe I could wash 40 people's feet in 40 days! That was one thought. But after further pondering, I figured that might be really hard — not to mention embarrassing and double not to mention people might find me freakish or fetish-ed — so I abandoned the mission. Now, I am one week in to washing Ashraf's swollen, pin-ridden left foot twice daily. That means I'm 14 feet in!
