"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to ALL people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." (Galatians 6:10)
Last week I was challenging my students (and myself!) to "be Jesus to someone today." As I was thinking about this, I was trying to think of some ways to do this "as we go." These are just a FEW suggestions. You might want to share others through your comments!

- Write an encouraging note to someone who seems discouraged
- Take a gift card for pizza to someone who is overwhelmed or tired
- Offer to watch some children for a couple hours to give a Mom a break
- Serve your spouse even if you don't feel like it
- Express appreciation to store clerks as you check out
- Offer to pray for or with a friend
- Listen to a friend who needs to talk
- Go to your nearest Goodwill store and pay for the customer's purchase that is either in front of you or behind you (and give them a gospel booklet :) )
- Think of a person or family who is financially stressed and put a few dollars in an envelope for them to use for a treat
- Express appreciation to your family members for who they are
- Offer to help one afternoon at a clothing closet or homeless shelter
- Have a cheerful attitude when you are asked to do something at work that you don't want to do
- Take some coffee or a Coke to a colleague
As I said before, these are just a FEW ideas. But, AS YOU GO, be Jesus to someone. Please add the things that come to your mind in your comments!
