My friend, Dave Ferguson, Lead Pastor of Community Christian Church, a nondenominational congregation of about 7,000 in Chicago, wrote on his blog the other day about the new Facebook group, 365 CLUB. It's entitled "I've Never Got So Much Credit For Doing So Little!" The CLUB began after a Facebook status Dave submitted about giving away coffee to a few Kinko's employees. Dave couldn't have said it better in his post: "It's a God-thing. Only God can take three cups of coffee and turn it into 3 million acts of kindness."
Here are a couple thoughts for people helpers:
- First, if you are serving others (in ministry, healthcare, social service, or caregiving) and you are questioning if God really does care about what you're doing, take heart. God still moves in the hearts of people. And He's bigger and more capable than we could ever imagine.
- Kindness is a character trait among people who remain strong in the winds of hurt and struggle. Kindness fuels passion. It gives perspective. It provides strength. Build kindness into your journey and you'll see what I mean.
Follow a God who is bigger than you. Serve with kindness. And you will be Serving Strong!
The 365 CLUB: What an amazing group of people world-wide. In just two & a half weeks, the group has grown to over 9,100 members committing to over 3,500,000 kindnesses in 2009. By the way, are YOU going to join and be an active member? If so, all you have to do is join Facebook then join the group. Here's a link:
