Day 40: Thought for the day...

Today was another busy, busy day at work, with church afterwards, so I don't have anything terrible exciting to report. However, I've decided to follow my dear friend's advice, and I'm writing on a random topic of discussion. Also, I would like to open this up for suggestions. I'm sure over the next 325 days there will be other days that I don't have anything worth sharing so, please leave a comment with topics you would like me discuss. Not that my opinion is really worth reading, but at least this will be better than reading about how boring my life was that day.

So today's thought for the day comes from the tonight's lesson with the kids. Tonight's topic was the ten commandants. It was boiled down to this, "Love God, Love Others." This got me thinking, do I really do this? Do I really show my love for both God and others?

I mean, I show up to church every Sunday and Wednesday and occasionally I put a scripture on my Facebook page. But do I show God I love Him through my actions? Do I obey His Word all the time?

As for loving others, sure I love the ones that are easy to love. But what about the homeless guy on the side of the road? Or the obnoxious co-worker that constantly gets on my last nerve? Or the rude cashier at the grocery store? Pretty sure the Golden Rule isn't "Treat those that are nice how you would like to be treated!"

While this isn't my usually humorous take on an otherwise uneventful day, I hope it has gotten you thinking, as it has me, about how you can better live out the two greatest commandments. Again, please offer suggestions for other random topics that I can use on days like today. As always, thank you for reading!!

With Love,
Eli
