Now more than ever

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. (Hebrews 6:10)

These days, with all that is going on around us, in our families, our friends and neighbors, and the world – more than ever – we need to choose, to be more purposeful, to make a real effort:

 at sharing the good things in life. That good that is already present needs to be shared and spread around for all to see. Actively look for that which brings happiness to you and to others. Make it all the more obvious. Shine a spotlight on all that is going right.

 Express love. Be kind. Be hopeful in word in deed. Help. Tell others about your joys and blessings. See the good. Smile. Laugh. Hug. Give. And tell.

 Don’t wait for a more perfect time or a more, rested – available – time. Do it. Do it now. Do it often. In this world we will have troubles, but let’s make every effort to have the good outweigh what is so easy to despair about. Make it rain with random acts of kindness. Bite your tongue. Turn the other cheek. Switch the conversation over to something more uplifting. Don’t let the “weeds” of life choke out what amazing love God has planted in your heart. Let us love. Full tilt.

Where can you shine some love today? Make an effort. And let’s rock this world!
