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 342

Scripture: Ps 107:33-43; Ps 108:1-6; Ps 33; Genesis 35:1-20; 1 John 3:11-18; John 11:1-18


Scripture standout: Ps 33: "4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; 
   he is faithful in all he does. 
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; 
   the earth is full of his unfailing love."

1 John 3: "16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."


His Deed/The Day: Picked up the dinner tab and the tickets for today's adventure to Charleston with Grandaddy and Ben. Gotta jump for opportunities when there's another giver in the house! Graandaddy was quick on the draw with the hotel expenses and just about everything else.

Here's a thought: Lent starts next week. Hard to believe this little deeding experiment launched a year ago with Lent 2011. I'm thinking I might share a deeding observation each day as a way to wrap things up. Heck, maybe I'll start tonight. Here goes:

Deedsclosure: The act of deeding feels unnatural, even after more than 300 practiced days of it — but deeding always, every single GD time, yields a supernatural feeling of joy. Talk amongst yourselves.
