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 133

Scripture: Ps 66, 67;  1 Samuel 28:3-20; Acts 15:1-11; Mark 5:1-20


Scripture standout: Ps 66: "1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth! 
 2 Sing the glory of his name; 
   make his praise glorious. 
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!"

Acts 15: "4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them."

Morning thoughts: Just can't get enough of this Wolfson Children's Hospital! Today, David had to come here for heart surgery. His doctor is a pediatric cardiologist who has done many PFO, or "little heart hole" procedures. Everything went well and happened quickly and efficiently. David's hole is now patched and he can resume normal activity tomorrow, when he'll be discharged.

The hospital is a place full of deeds and miracles — it's filled to the brim with tangible examples of God working through the capable hands of doctors and nurses. You see parents loving their children and receive support and prayers from friends. As grim and terrible as a hospital sounds, God definitely lives there.


His Deed/The Day: Not a deed, exactly, but I was present for the afternoon. And heck, I got some work done, too...hallelujah!
