Scripture standout: Ps 16: "I have set the LORD always before me; *
because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.
9
My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; *
my body also shall rest in hope.
10
For you will not abandon me to the grave, *
nor let your holy one see the Pit.
11
You will show me the path of life; *
in your presence there is fullness of joy,
and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore."
Matthew 28: "And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."
His Deed/The Day: Went back to the basics — let a car needing to turn in to my lane. Tacked $1 on to my bill at Publix for March of Dimes. Done.
Deedsclosure: Not sure if conscious daily deeding is your thing? Here's some good news that might change your mind. If you're a parent, a spouse, a child, a sibling, a friend — daily deeding is an organic, unplanned occurrence.
As a mom, I can tell you that my job description includes a full day of others-related activities. Like every mom I know, each day is a bouquet of folding laundry, making beds, shuttling children to activities, making fun plans on their behalf and being available. As a wife, I act in partnership. As a friend, I am there to help when needed, listen and share experiences. In my most humblest of opinions, I feel that all of life's daily chores for others are deeds in themselves.
So maybe conscious daily do-gooding is an unnecessary challenge? Maybe so. Or maybe it is a course in being grateful for the daily opportunities life offers — and that we have the capacity to seek more work on that long walk to Galilee.
