Do it in the Name of Jesus.
Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. –Colossians 3:17
Life is precious! Don’t postpone it. Make the most of your time! I know it is an overused phrase, but choose to, “Seize the Day!”
I came across a list of possibilities to make your day a brighter one from Jim Burns:
Seek out a forgotten friend. Write a love letter. Share a treasure. Encourage someone with a kind word. Keep a promise. Give to a needy cause. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Read your Bible. Pray for your family. Examine your demands on others. Appreciate a friend. Be kind, be gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.
According to Colossians 3:17 almost anything we do or say can be a way of giving thanks to God through Jesus Christ. Make a decision to “grasp the hour” and thank God today.
Why not pick two of the suggestions above and do them today. What are you doing now that is actually an opportunity in which to give God Thanks?
Blessings,
Thora
The “examine your demands on others” really touched me.
