Dec 20th - Just do it

This is very short and sweet.  Or bittersweet, depending on how you look at it 😊

The other evening I went round various bedrooms and gathered up the cups and plates etc which had mysteriously assembled there.  I wasn't planning on going back downstairs so I left them at the top of the staircase so that the next person who went down would take them to the kitchen.  The following morning the four wonderful men in my life all got up before I did.  They all went downstairs.  Then they all came upstairs again to brush their teeth, get their school bags, find their car keys etc.  Then they went downstairs again and got into the car.  Then someone forgot something and came in from the car, upstairs, downstairs and then they all left.  And yes, you've guessed it.  When I got up, there were the plates and cups still sitting at the top of the stairs.

And as I looked at them and said out loud '  How hard is it to see stuff which needs to go down and actually take it down??!!'  I felt God speak to me clear as day and say '  And how many things do you' not see' or choose to ignore or leave till later ?'.    He meant God things.  I got the point.

God sometimes -  often -  daily sets things out for us to trip over.  Blessings to enjoy, projects to undertake, people to talk to, words to impart, prayers to pray.  And so often we walk past, don't follow the nudge, take the hint, hear the prompting.  Or we think the next person will do it.  Or we think maybe it will wait for later. Or, or or......

So today, your challenge should you wish to accept it, is to actively look out for the thing God wants you to do or say.... and just do it.
