I want to start the week off by challenging you. Spend some time in prayer today asking God how you can be the physical hands and feet of Christ. Listen to His voice and be open to what He asks you to do. Maybe He will call you to pay for someone's gas, or maybe just pump their gas. He may call you to buy groceries for a struggling family, or maybe just babysit the children for an hour to give the parents a break. God may ask you to offer to pray for your boss, or possibly just buy a coffee for him. Whatever God calls you to, be ready. Be His hands and feet this week. Serve as Christ would serve. Be sure to share with us what God has called you to do. You may comment here or write on our Facebook page.

I think I <3 you
ReplyDeleteI know I love you baby sister! <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful list. I'm thankful for family time, friend time, and church family time this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI loved your list. It sounds like you had a wonderful week!:) Thank you for the challenge. I will definitely post about what I did. Many blessings to you dear friend!
ReplyDeleteGood encouragement Jenifer. This goes hand in hand with what our pastor talked about yesterday with an impromptu sit down breakfast and question/answer time we had at service that no one expected. We talked all about community and reaching out and letting down our guard and trusting Jesus to show us how to be Him everywhere we go :) blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteNow that my kiddos are getting just a little too big to rock, #269 tugged my heart just a little. A lovely list.
ReplyDeleteStacie, I am right there with you! My youngest is nine and while he still loves to sit on my lap, he is a little big for rocking. Kind of bitter sweet.
ReplyDeleteLeah, I love that your pastor did that! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful today that my husband is home from work, even though it's because he has vertigo and can't be at work. I'm thankful that we have a great doctor who prescribed a treatment plan for the vertigo. I'm thankful that my daughter is officially finished with high school even though that means I'm closer to losing her to college!
ReplyDeleteI love your challenge to be in prayer about how can I be Jesus' hands and feet today??? This week? Thanks!
