Incredibly Blessed

Hello Readers!

It feels like forever since I last blogged, but I'm going to take that as a good thing. I've been busy enjoying life and all of the beautiful moments it has to offer. This fall semester has started off with so many unexpected blessings. Wonderful residents, supportive coworkers, caring family and friends, and a sweet young man have made my fall nothing short of fantastic. 

Last night, I had the opportunity to lead a worship and study night for my Christian service sorority, Kappa Phi. Our focus was on Colossians 3:23-24 and how we are expected to serve with a heart for the Lord.

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ." (Colossians 3:23-24, KJV)

During one of the activities, I had the ladies jot down their to-do list for the week and consider which items served themselves rather than served others. As I anticipated, most of my own to-do list expectations were quite self-serving. 

This week, I intend to take Colossians 3:23-24 to heart. I added a few acts of kindness to my to-do list and I can't wait to see how God works through these gestures. My hope and prayer would be for my readers to take some time to reflect on how they can apply Colossians 3:23-24 as well. Small acts of great love are a fantastic way to share God's compassion and kindness with others. All it takes is one small gesture to make someone's day!

Join a Movement to Spread Some Love

I've been trying to think of good ways to get more reader interaction. A blog is great, but putting words to action is an entirely different step! 

So here's a challenge for my readers, Facebook friends, and acquaintances:

Join a movement to spread some love to those around you!

Small actions, big actions, safe actions, risky actions...the list goes on with what to expect from this challenge!

But regardless of how safe or risky you play it, know that sharing unconditional love and acceptance with those around you will bless you, them, and the world. 

Christ gave His life for you! Now it is time to glorify His name and share that love with others!

"I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave." -Psalm 86:12-13

Here is a link to the Facebook page. I hope and pray that even if you don't like the page, you take the time to share some of God's love with someone each and every day!
