Do Good

"So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up." - Gal 6:9 On a wall, in Mother Teresa's home for children, is written a variation of the Paradoxial Commandments by Dr Kent M. Keith. One of the lines reads "The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway!". Doing good is fun and easy...when it's acknowledged! When it's not, it gets a lot harder however that doesn't mean we should stop! Think about your heart for a moment...it's doing a great job of keeping you alive by pumping blood through your system but how often do stop to tell it "thank you". What about your big toe? Without it you couldn't maintain balance standing up. Do you constantly need to cheer it on with "you're doing an awesome job! Keep going!"??? No these parts of the body continue to "do good", without recognition, making everything work together for good! In the same way, we should never be discouraged or tired of doing good. Since we are all connected and 'each part fits together to make the whole body work'. Be encouraged that the good you are doing is valuable. The unseen hours in the middle of the night is making a difference. The challenging season raising your children will pay off. Those people you are helping out, praying for, or looking after do need you and value what your doing. This verse in Gal 6:9 goes onto say that "you will reap a harvest.." but the key is NOT to give up! We love you and are committed to helping you on this journey so together we can all be a blessing.
