Prayers for the Headlines, Friday, March 25, 2011

Good Morning, God
It's Friday again and visions of relaxing tomorrow and Sunday dance in our heads and cause us to want this day to quickly pass!  But what if we decided to take the next days as an opportunity to be creative?

What if we decided to make even one room of our house or apartment prettier, perhaps just by cleaning it up?  What if we decided to make the outside of our house or even our apartment or our office building a prettier place by picking up the trash or the junk and trimming and sweeping?  What if we decided to make the street we live on or another street in the town where we live or even one of the county roads we drive on neater and cleaner by picking up the trash, putting it in bags and disposing of it properly?  What if we men get around to our "honey do lists" this weekend?  What if we women got around to straightening out the closets and culling the things that can't be worn any more and taking such things to a second-hand store to donate?  What if we parents decided to play with our children and have a picnic or take a walk on the River Walk?  What if we went to visit someone in a retirement home or care center or hospital?

What if we would feel far more satisfied with the weekend if we were creative rather than "couch potatoes" this weekend?  What if?
In Jesus name, Amen
