As my hubby was leaving for work the other day,
I told him to pretend that he was carrying
a RED BALLON.
And you can just imagine the expression on his face,
as he rolled his eyes.
I guess I had to explain.
I told him to be the bringer of
JOY.
To pretend that he was holding
aRED BALLON. all day.
Think about it.
How would you act, if you brought a RED BALLON.
everywhere you went?
Can't you just feel your shoulders relaxing and a big smile on your face?
How would you react to someone who said hi to you,
as they were holding a RED BALLON.?
Just don't think about it.
Do it.
Today
A SMILE.
A PHONE CALL.
A GOOD MORNING.
A I AM THINKING OF YOU.
A _________.
Oh the LITTLE THINGS
that become BIG THINGS.
If only we all stopped long enough
to give
A SMILE.
A PHONE CALL.
A GOOD MORNING.
A I AM THINKING OF YOU
to that someone who
you have been
thinking about,
yet just haven't reached out to yet
because you are waiting for the perfect moment.
TODAY is the DAY
to be that someone
who does that
LITTLE THING
that TOUCHES another someone
in a BIG way.
Isn't that what JESUS is all about?
HE may have done the
BIGGEST THING
from the moment
HE left HIS heavenly home
to be swaddled in rags at birth,
to be swaddled in rags at death,
just so HE could swaddle us with a
LOVE that is so BIG
that death couldn't keep HIM in the grave.
HE is HERE. HE has RISEN.
Now that is A BIG THING
that makes
JOY explode in the LITTLE THINGS,
because
when you see
JESUS in the LITTLE THINGS.
LITTLE becomes so BIG
and all it begins with a
LITTLE TOUCH.
Oh she did it.
The woman labeled as the "sick woman" in the bible,
who did the LITTLEST THING that changed her life in a
BIG WAY,
because she reached out and
TOUCHED the fringe of
JESUS' robe
and IMMEDIATELY she was healed.
JESUS felt it because
HE felt HIS HEALING POWER
leave.
HE didn't interrogate the woman,
instead HE gave her the
BIGGEST THING~
"And HE said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace' (Luke 8:48)".
Just because she had
the LITTLE THING called FAITH
that made her take the RISK to do a BIG THING.
Oh REACH OUT & TOUCH JESUS.
It only takes a second.
Maybe what you need from
JESUS
seems so LITTLE,
but oh nothing is
LITTLE when JESUS is involved.
Therefore,
as you begin our day to
RUN THE RACE OF LIFE
do it like JESUS did
and
REACH OUT & TOUCH
someone with
HIS LOVE
that will bring
A SMILE
A PHONE CALL
A GOOD MORNING
A I AM THINKING OF YOU
A _________,
to someone who really needs it
because~
"Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts GOD always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end"
(I Corinthians 13:4-7).
Wear HIS LOVE
and let HIS LOVE run through you
to the someones in your life
that need that one
LITTLE TOUCH,
just like
"THE GENEROUS MR. LOWELL" does.
(listen to this LITTLE happy song below.
By the way, he has a RED BALLOON,
and I had no idea)
