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 94

Scripture: Ps 112; Isaiah 42:5-12; Matthew 10:7-16; Acts 11:19-30; 13:1-3


Scripture standout: Matthew: "7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give."


Morning thoughts: When I can sit here for longer, I will share the sweet note Quodrat wrote to us on the iTouch. It made my weekend!

His Deed/The Day: There wasn't much on the deeding agenda except to watch a bunch of Afghan and American children having a total ball together at Camp Montgomery. It was intoxicating. To get technical, the tangible deed was helping a few kids who had never swam much before kick and sputter across the lake in their life jackets — smiling all the while. But still, I could have sat on the dock all day just watching joyful children having fun a sunny Florida afternoon — a much more selfish act indeed.
