"A Day ON"

1 Peter 4:10 -"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."

      Happy King Holiday! The main mantra of this great celebratory day is - "A Day ON, not a Day OFF.  When most holidays roll around our first thoughts are usually about what we can do for ourselves- sleeping late, eating more than we should, watching more television and some times just goofing off with friends and family.  For the King day celebration we honor the slain civil rights leader and embody the teachings of Christ through the giving of ourselves by helping others. 

       Whether you decide to assist at a food bank, a homeless shelter, or visit a nursing home find a way today to extend a helping hand to someone in need. While it is awesome and extremely noteworthy to give to the "needy"; there are many services we can provide to people who are just in need of assistance.  A shut-in neighbor might need a few groceries; a friend who has to work but children are out of school could use a sitter; a tired friend could use a home cooked meal. Find a way to extend the love of God to show how good our God is.  We are his ambassadors and it is our duty to represent heaven on Earth. Enjoy your day ON! 

Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
