Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
What a wonderful day I had yesterday. Beautiful weather, some decluttering accomplished, helped a young man out of a field after he hydroplaned (no injuries), set up for an early evening event where I sold a few books, passed out some business cards, and planted a host of seeds. The vibe yesterday was fantastic.
This morning I woke up to a beautiful sunrise and a hot cup of coffee. I will start with my prayer meeting, then I will be off to collect the donations for the benefit tomorrow, and then back to mow a couple of yards. I will need to mow in the afternoon to give the grass time to dry out. If you live in Indiana, we have gotten a smidgen of rain here (insert sarcasm).
Many of my posts include the concept of demonstrating the love of Christ one smile at a time, one helping hand at a time, one hug at a time, or just a listening ear at a time. There is a gentleman on the internet who actually seeks out overgrown properties and cleans them up for free. The one I watched this morning, he found an old brick sidewalk under a decade of dirt and grass. I have watched him help elderly, single parents, abandoned properties that were safety hazards, and the list goes on. This is the sort of thing that will really help display the face of Christ in a darkened world. This kind of sacrifice. These yards are not 20-minute fixes; they are long, day-long adventures. He does not just mow the yard; he trims, removes debris, and locates hidden concrete areas that have been taken over. With all the negativity in the world, to see a concept as large but as simple as this … shows me that there is hope yet.
Today, I want to encourage you to find an opening to share the love of Christ. Listen for His voice when a situation arises and follow through with a greeting, a smile, a hug, or whatever it is that He is leading you to do. Not only will you change that person’s day, but you will enrich your own as well.
Be blessed.
