Scripture standout: Matthew 24: "45 "Suppose a master puts one of his servants in charge of the other servants in his house. The servant's job is to give them their food at the right time. The master wants a faithful and wise servant for this. 46 It will be good for the servant if the master finds him doing his job when the master returns.47 What I'm about to tell you is true. The master will put that servant in charge of everything he owns."
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

His Deed/The Day: I just got back from an overnight with Shamsullah, the little Afghan boy staying at the hospital for so long. It felt right to be there. That wonderful place, Wolfson Children's Hospital, is a marvel — all of those kind and skilled nurses tending to the weakest of the weak. I saw a tiny baby in there. But mostly, it was quiet. Quiet with happy Christmas decorations everywhere.
