Day Seventeen

As I was leaving the house this morning I look across the street and see a rocking chair by the neighbors trash can. I walk over, it looks to be in perfect condition. Excitedly, I pick it up and bring it to the garage. Now . . . before God put this 365 thing on my heart I would have taken the rocker without saying a word to anyone, gotten in my car, and been on my way, relishing in the blessing God had laid before me. Instead, I bag up a few homemade brownie bites, write a personal little note on a note card, walk it over and leave it on the front porch (ringing the doorbell at 7:00am, not a good idea). How simple is that! OK, so I get home after a rain storm to find 9 mangoes on the ground. I pick them up and take a few to the next door neighbor and have my second conversation with her. How simple is that! Building relationships for Christ does not have to be as hard as we want to make it. Thank you Jesus for reminding me how simple sharing your light can be.
