A challenge for myself and you

I heard a song this morning that really got me thinking. I wish I could tell you who sings it or even the name but I have no clue. It talked about how we as the body of Christ need to stand up and do what we are supposed to for the kingdom instead of waiting for someone else to do it.

It got me thinking about God's call on my life, or on ALL of our lives. We as Christians are all called to help the needy, minister to the widows, love the unloved. I am guilty. I have not done this enough in the past. I believe we have a responsibility to stand up for what we believe in, do what is right and look for opportunities daily to do God's work. I am always amazed at how small my problems seem when I try to focus on others and their needs.

I want to challenge anyone who is up for it. I think we should pray each morning and ask God how we can be His hands extended for that day. It could be something as small as helping someone at the store reach an item that is too high for them or something as big as cleaning a friend's house that has been in the hospital. We just need to look for ways to bless others. One easy way to figure out something you can do is to really listen to others when you are talking with them. Just by them telling you how their day is going you may find out that they have a need that you are able to meet.

Whenever I figure out what that song is I will post it on here. It is worth hearing! On another note, I have updated our family pictures on the side. Take a look at how grown up my little ones are now. Hope you have a blessed day!
