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 335

Scripture: Ps 87, 90, 136; Genesis 29:1-20; Romans 14:1-23; John 8:47-59


Scripture standout: Ps 90: "13 Relent, LORD! How long will it be? 
   Have compassion on your servants. 
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, 
   that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, 
   for as many years as we have seen trouble. 
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants, 
   your splendor to their children."

Romans 14: "4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand... 13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister."



His Deed/The Day: I followed through on the difficult task from earlier this week of buying a bracelet from the sweet little girl trying to raise awareness of bullying. Whew!!! That wasn't easy! But the check's in the mail. A neighbor sent a request asking for a few bucks for March of Dimes. Done. Didn't even put that envelope in the stack....just rummaged through my purse for a few extra dollars and licked it shut. Done. I got some Valentine's in the mail — everyone likes getting a little love in the mail! I'm trying to stock up on some deeds because no telling what tomorrow will look like. RB and I are going the distance — doing the big 26.2 Breast Cancer Marathon. I might be on my a**! tomorrow! And that could very well prevent me from deeding. Although, I am running for a friend who I respect very much — she's recuperating from breast cancer. This race is hers.

Before I forget, let me jot down a deeding dont. Don't be that person who blabs on and on about what's going on in life — without asking the asker what's going on in theirs. That is so non-deedly. Geez. That is a deed in itself. Never forget to ask — what's going on with you, what's the big news with you today?
