Do Good Things

I'm sending out a call among us all....to do good things.  Lots of good things.  Every chance we get.  Not just once a day, or schedule from 12-1pm......as often in the day as possible......do good things.  Yesterday someone gave me 2 bags of things to share with someone else who needed them....blankets, baby items, etc.  Today, someone offered an item that this same friend was in need of yesterday.  Doing good things has a 100 percent return, folks.  God shows off like crazy....sometimes even before we can ask.....and good things come back to us.

In case you can't think of good things to do today, here is a little list to get you started.  I trust that God will help you once you are rolling......

1.  Reach out to someone who might be hurting.  You don't need to fix anything.  Just let them know that their pain matters to you and that they are not alone in it.
2.  Help single moms.  Every day.
3.  Write an encouraging note to a teen-ager.  Their buckets are never full enough of encouraging words.
4.  Pray.  Pray again.  Pray more.  between prayers.......pray.
5.  Bake treats and share them.
6.  Smile at people.
7.  Say yes to children as often as possible.
8.  Say thank you to as many people as you can every day.
9.  Make someones favorite meal.
10.Be positive and be a light in the darkness whenever you can.

Doing good things.......can be harder than doing bad things, sharing negativity, being selfish.....but there is simply no return on the bad.......except more yuck.  Goodness yields goodness.....and our world definitely needs a heaping dose of more goodness.

Ephesians 2:10 says it well.......For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
