From my morning devotion: This morning I read Matthew 6. It made me think of this top ten list that I read from the General Board of discipleship: TOP TEN THINGS YOU CAN TRY FOR THE LENTEN SEASON: 10. Try an electronic fast. Give up TV, video games, texting, tweeting, e-mail and all things electronic for one day every week. (or everyday of Lent!) Use the time to read & pray. 9. Start a prayer rhythm. Say a prayer every time you brush your teeth, hear an ambulance, or check your e-mail. Before you text someone, pray for them. 8. Read one chapter in the Bible each day. (Matthew’s a good book to start with. Psalms, too.) 7. Forgive someone who doesn’t deserve it (maybe even yourself.) 6. Give up soft drinks, fast food, tea or coffee. Give the money you save to help folks in crisis. 5. Create a daily quiet time. Spend 30 minutes a day in silence and prayer. 4. Cultivate a life of gratitude. Write someone a thank you letter each week and be aware of how many people have helped you along the way. 3. Be kind to someone each day. 2. Pray for others you see as you walk to and from classes or drive to and from work. 1. Volunteer one hour or more each week with a local shelter, tutoring program, nursing home, prison ministry or a Habitat for Humanity project.
