Good Morning,
The day began some time ago. I am running late this morning due to a chore that needed to be done very early and could not wait. I still managed to brew a hot pot of Door County Chocolate Cherry Coffee and tomorrow, I will be back on track.
Philippians 2;3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than himself.
Our lives can be lived in peaceful bliss which at times can lead to being bored. Boredom is a thief and lulls us into complacency. It robs us of the excitement of life. I challenge you all to steal your day back from boredom.
Let us open our eyes to the needs of others around us. See the cause and make the decision to perform an act of kindness and don't expect compensation. Make the choice to get involved in a way that is large enough to make a difference in the life of someone else. Once you do, you have stolen your day away from boredom. What you chose to do, then becomes a passion to succeed. And what you are involved with puts new spring in your step. Performing such an act and not expecting compensation is humility in action. But you do receive a reward. You are no longer stuck in the rut of life. Your new service to others has you focused on the others and not allowing you time to be bored with your own life. Boredom will attack you mentally and physically. The aches and pains you normally feel are lessened because you have a purpose to get going and make that difference for others.
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Some serious food for thought. Get over yourself and get going for others. Your life can be renewed by just stretching yourself for a good cause. When you see the smile of a life impacted because of your unselfish kindness, you are living the abundant life.
Sorry for being late today. God bless,
Marty
