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 134

Scripture: Ps 42:1-7; Judith 9:1, 11-14; 2 Corinthians 5:14-18; John 20:11-18


Scripture standout: 2 Corinthians 5: "16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view."


Morning thoughts: What a fun challenge! I was thinking yesterday about the hospital, and what an awesome place it is to see tangible example of God at work. But can't we see that in everyone, every place? Maybe so, maybe it can be a new game. Instead of a doctor, I can see God's healing properties. Instead of the nice, old lady bagging my food up at Publix, I can see God working to contain or sharing joy in sweet, short old lady stories. Instead of the mean people next door, maybe I can see, well, geez. That they're God's tools, too. No pun intended, promise.


His Deed/The Day: Thank you, Firehouse Subs! The Afghans leave, and the in comes Marley's new fascination with a hot, plan ham sandwich and a Coke mix drink. Firehouse Subs allow you to donate your change to victims of fire. When there is low-hanging fruit in front of me, I like to grab it and run!
