Mid-Week LiFE
Nice to see you again...
On Sunday I was challenged to live my life under the "banner" of the Kingdom of God and not worry. I was struck how the Kingdom of God is others focused and not self-focused.
On Monday, the wife of one of my co-workers broke her leg. They have a 4 month old boy. On Monday, I thought wow that would be tough luck. I kept imagining how difficult this is going ot be for them. On Tuesday, I was still thinking wow that is tough but then I thought of something...
Instead of feeling bad, why don't I do something to serve them. Get them an easy to fix meal. So I hopped over to Costco for the 2nd time in 3 hours picked up an easy meal and delivered it.
I didn't intentionally think I should put the Kingdom of God in to practice. I was only doing what comes naturally when you live in that Kingdom.
How often are your thoughts and actions about others? Keep it up..practice loving your neighbros and co-workers this week. A quick challenge is think about times when you are having a bad hair day. Instead of getting down about your hair or lack there of. turn it around a compliment people on their hair or something else. Turn self-focus in to other-focused.
