THURSDAY THOUGHT 2/21/08

What’s your purpose, your message, your ministry as a person of faith? 
 
Is it to serve on your church board?  To give to the poor?  To teach Sunday school?  To minister to the sick?  To preach on a street corner?  Your ministry doesn’t have to be anything grandiose or even obvious.  It’s just a way — big or small, subtle or loud — to share with others the message that we are of God.
 
So, here’s my plan for the day:  At the end of every conversation with everybody to whom I talk, in person or on the phone (and, hey, how about email, too?), I will try to remember to conclude with, “Thanks and God bless.”  That’s all.  Sort of a mini-ministry.  Care to join me?  Enjoy and rejoice in this day.  Oh, and by the way, thanks and God bless.  — jri

a bowl or a bed?  Instead, don’t you
put it on its stand?”
