A Hand Up…


A Hand Up (click HERE to read/listen) is definitely worth the 2-3 minutes of reading or listening. Sometimes even with our best intentions we and/or others can’t make it a Best Day as Ralph Waldo Emerson encouraged.

With that in mind, here are some potential ACTIVITIES OF THE DAY (based on the ODB article quotes italicized below:)

  • If you find yourself “flattened on the cold ice of life’s hardships, is there a helping hand nearby? If so, it might be from God.” Maybe ask for God’s help with that hardship in prayer right now?
  • “Or when someone else needs a friend, could we be God’s answer to lift them up?” Who in your circle needs a friendly deed or word? What can you do today to help?

Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit
