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 220

Scripture: Ps 147; Ecclesiasticus 38:1-4, 6-10, 12-14; 2 Timothy 4:5-13; Luke 4:14-21
Scripture standout: Ps 147: " 10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, 
   nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; 
11 the LORD delights in those who fear him, 
   who put their hope in his unfailing love."

His deed/The Day: Today, I swung through the organic food market for a smoothie and to pick up some salt — some very organic salt — for Marley's volcano project. I nabbed some veggie patties for good measure and a bag of Pirate's Bootie, the healthier version of my much adored Cheese Puffs. My basket also included some Humboldt Fog cheese and some milk. Things were getting a little heavy as I was waiting in line. When the cashier asked who was next, a plastic surgurized older woman pushed forth ahead of me and another woman. There was an aghast silence as everyone stared befuddled at this woman and her pushiness. But you know what? No one said a word. The cashier, the other woman and I shared a compassionate smile. That's all. Today's gift was restrain.
