Small Everyday Deeds

“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found… I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay— small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.”
— Gandalf, The Hobbit.

Learn, Act, Share

Learn, act and share are the three words that sum up the Duty to God program in my church.

1. I learn what God considers my duty to Him.
2. I humbly accept these duties and begin to act to fulfill them.
3. I share the challenges I have had when I have fallen short. I share the blessings I have received when I am successful.

Rinse and repeat +infinity.  What greater recipe is there?  It points to a fullness of joy and progress and Life Eternal.
