Knock, knock!


They say opportunity knocks but temptation kicks the door in! Well I’m not sure about that but one thing I do know for sure is that there are plenty of opportunities all around us each and every day. Opportunities to do good. We can start with the simple words of “Yes, please!”, and “Thank you!”, or “I’m sorry.”, and of course “I love you.” Of course we can do more but that’s a good place to start. Being civil to each other in these days of cancel culture and political rhetoric goes a long way to heal wounds and deflect anger. 

There are other ways that can be more weighty and substantial when it comes to doing good. We can take a meal to someone who is sick. We can give of our time and sit and listen to the broken-hearted. We can send a card of encouragement. We can give sacrificially of our treasure to help someone down on their luck. The bottom line is that there are plenty of ways to do good to others because the opportunities to do so are all around us if we would just look we will see them. 

The Lord doesn’t ask us to give what we do not have but rather as we are able from what we do have no matter how small we may think it is. Every little bit can make a huge difference to the hurting and downcast. Never underestimate your small good deed. It can have an enormous impact. Gotta go now, I hear a knock on the door.
