Brick 5: Goodness

It is the 21st of February, 2023 and the weather forecast for all of us across MN. and a good part of the upper mid-west is to be ready, 'cause a ton of snow could be coming our way.

But what if that also challenged us all to Be good (as best we can)?

It's doable, for example – consider these words (not sure who stated them but they are good ones). “You cannot do all the good the world needs, but the world needs all the good that you can do.”

Now, I share this encouragement not just because with bad weather approaching; we need to keep an eye out for each other, and to help if the need arises. But we also should challenge ourselves to be good every chance that we can (help someone out of the ditch, stop and jump-start their car, pick up some groceries or whatever we can do).

So, move beyond just saying good words,

see what you can also do for good works.

Why? 1 Peter 3:17 reminds us . . . For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.
