Scripture: Ps 96:1-13; Isaiah 45:1-7; 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10; Matthew 22:15-22
Scripture standout: 1 Thess: "2 We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers."
His Deed/The Day: Ben was confirmed this morning in the Episcopal Church! Bishop Keyser laid his hands on Ben's head and made it official. We were so proud of him. David and I were so happy to look around and see our good friends and family there supporting him. "We always thank God for all of you..." That was definitely resonating today.
Donated an extra $1 to a hunger relief organization with our afternoon Pizza Hut order.
What happens when you deliberately tweak your conscience to be more aware of meeting others' needs? Every day? And if it happens to be Lent...for 40 days? What does that look like? What deeds would transpire? What blessings come back? How do we listen for direction? Wake up each morning and decide to be intentional about bringing others better into focus with a little prayer, silence and scripture. Let the daily deeding commence! #DoingUntoOthers #OthersFirst #OneDeedADayGo
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
