It’s Sunday again, already. It amazes me how time flies. Days go by in a blink. Weeks seem to take no longer than a deep breath. I know that it’s a function of age, the old I get the quicker time moves. It must be part of God’s master plan; somehow tied to the aging of the body. Both phenomena designed to be a constant reminder that we don’t have unlimited opportunities left. We need to take every shot we get at doing the important things. Did you do anything really special yesterday? Will you do something of eternal significance today? Here are some suggestions.
Tell someone you love them. I know it’s Valentine’s Day on Monday; but I’m not talking about that special person that God has given you. We don’t, often enough, tell all the great people in our lives how we feel. Tell someone you love that you do, someone you haven’t told in a while.
Forgive someone. We all walk around with unforgiveness: that disease that focuses on others but hurts no one but us. If you want to do something special forgive someone.
Do a secret good deed. All around us are folks with needs. If we look carefully enough we will see them. The needs are often not so great or the pride is too great for them to ask for help. Doing something to meet that need without recognition or thanks will make any day special.
Tell someone about Jesus. Okay, I know the first reaction will be, “I’ll pick something else on the list.” But we don’t have to make sharing about Jesus complicated. We don’t, on each occasion, give the full plan of salvation All we need do is tell some just one thing Jesus has done for us.We then trust the Holy Spirit to take the ball and run with it.
We don’t know how many days we have left. Should we make each one special for someone (as well as for us) and blessed?
