In terms of doing good deeds in this world, it’s unrealistic to think that we can do everything for everybody, but I do humbly submit that we can at least do something for somebody from time-to-time.  My Good Pastor Kent Pedersen likes to say it this way, “Do for one what you wish you could do for all,” and I couldn’t agree more.

I’ve come to understand that when giving to others we can’t always be sure how people will treat our gestures of kindness.  We can’t always be sure that the neediness of others is truly genuine and as severe as they may indicate, and we can’t always be sure of others intentions with our time, talents and treasures.  But one thing we can be sure of is the reward and return we will receive based on the spirit in which we choose to give.

You see, the God-given, universal law of reciprocity isn’t specific to and for the “receiver”, it’s specific to and for the “giver”.  If we make an honest effort to cheerfully give with a grateful heart out of love and truly good intentions without want or expecting return, then shaken together, pressed-down, overflowing “good measure” is sure to visit us in the coming days ahead.  Good measure in family, friendship, physical feeling and financials.

So, not feeling like you’re experiencing any “good measure” these days?  I invite you to look for opportunities to give, Give, GIVE and not just out of your scarce and limited treasures, but also of your time and talents.  Yes friends, this too is “good” and worthy of your best efforts.  So let’s all commit to do “good” for our “good measure” as we continue to make it GREAT!
