LET’S ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING (Day 2 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
Today’s the day for a little introspection.
Little children, let us … love … in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:18 ESV
How are you about taking action? Do you serve others well or expect others to do much of the work?
I mentioned previously that I got a bit lazy about serving others following a surgery and recuperation time. I had to recharge my “get up and do it” muscles. And I think there are times, I have expected others to do something that I easily could do myself without much thought.
Now, honestly, delegating can be a smart choice and periods of rest are a wise thing, but what I’m talking about is just the sit-back attitude where love doesn’t have expression.
If you are looking for a good resource, one of my favorite books (which I try to read each year) is QBQ by John G Miller. Its basic premise is that you can really change situations by what you are willing to do.
My youngest grandson is at a helpful stage in life. He wants to be involved in everything and Grandpa, of course, is his favorite partner in crime.
Yesterday, he showed up and announced he was the best at breaking open eggs, so Grandpa let him help with dinner. Thankfully, our grandson is also easily distractible, so Grandpa could discretely remove the bits of eggshell from the bowl. Love in action from both of them.
