Scripture standout: Ps. 95: "For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and the dry land, which his hands have formed."
His Deed/The Day: Today is the final day of Coking — this side of the Atlantic, that is! I'm going to try to blow out this Lenten exercise with another personal best of four Coke giveaways this morning. Then, I'm putting Coking on pause (although I have to admit, it has been REALLY fun and is something I might consider continuing.)
**As a little sidenote: I was at Publix this morning and founding a Coking target right away: the nice chubby-chatty bagger who helped me out to the car. He was ECSTATIC!!!! Definitely, the most positive Coking response I've gotten all week: "Oh, I LOVE Coke!" he screamed, practically breaking his finger nails off trying to rip the pop top off. "I was just thinking that now was about time for a Coke, thank you!" As I'm backing out of the parking lot I see him slamming the thing by the grocery carts. Score!!!***
We're leaving for the south of France this afternoon and will be in Nice by Saturday. I am going to miss the kids and my little routine of a life very much, but am looking forward to being in another culture and setting. It will be nice to be reminded of this world's scope and beauty!
I won't be blogging for this almost final week of Lent. BUT be assured at least eight French citizens will be deeded by something in my toolbox — whether it's a mildly icy little glass of Coke at the local cafe or stopping for a madame to cross the street. I hope you will, too! Bon jour!
Deedsclosure: Deeding is not an English-speaking only endeavor. Holding a door or sharing a smile or, ahem, passing out a Coke does not require language or too much cultural awareness. I do not speak French. But I can make sure I don't slam a door in someone's face. There is no language barrier to putting others first.
