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 226

Scripture: Ps 1; Acts 15:12-22a; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11; Matthew 13:54-58


Scripture standout: Matthew 13: "But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”
 58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith."

His Deed/The Day: This morning I shared a chippier bit of scripture with some family who are in the process of moving back to their home town. The verse I sent, along with words of encouragement, was about "planting yourself by the stream." But this verse up here is the one that makes me concerned. It IS hard to re-emerge back in your hometown. It is not forgiving and it remembers you way-back-when, and for the things that you accomplished when you were 13 years old — good and bad. I hope it's a smooth transition.
