So…no matter what’s ahead in your day — try this beautiful plan that could make the world a more beautiful place: “Help others get ahead…lend a helping hand.” Phil2:4MSG

Because the thing is? We aren’t here to one-up one another —

but to help one another up.

Let’s do this! Break free of your comfort zone today and do something — touch someone, give something, help someone, pray for someone, serve someone, be the GIFT for someone.

God will help you – so lean in & let’s go!

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
