What to do while sitting in the office?

Occassionally i find myself sitting there believing I'm accomplishing something.  I strive daily to do what no one else is doing.  You've heard it said "someone somewhere is working to improve."  Are you working as hard as that someone?  Then I get on facebook or twitter and realize that there are so many people doing more than I am.  I get excited when i realize that my life isn't full of trying to make myself feel significant. 

Here are a list of things I don't do that i see the majority doing:

1. I don't hate mondays!
2. I never "TGIF"
3. I don't say something towards someone unless I post it on their wall.
4. I never check in unless I say where Im going in a post.
5. I don't worry about being deleted from facebook or being unfollowed.
6. I never say "goodnight" to a very large group of people who could care less if I am going sleep.
7. I respond to every single happy birthday post on my wall.
8. I never use facebook to ask people to follow me on twitter.
9. To this day I still don't know what being "Bored" and the letters "tbh" have to do with each other.
10. I don't play TempleRun just to take a screen shot and let facebook see how much time I waste playing the game.

I notice all these things while sitting in the office on my computer. I realize that compared to a lot of other people that are my "so called friends" on facebook, my life is quite simple.  I'm thankful for this, and thankful for the time to rest and be still. 

Even sitting in the office searching for something to do isn't a bad place to be! 

The post on facebook and tweets on twitter that get my attention are those that speak of positive & encouraging things!

Keep the post and tweets coming!

Did today count?

Many of us had the opportunity today to make a difference somewhere, someway, or somehow. I know that personally looking back at the days events, there had to be some difference made, and not just talking about personal growth. I'm saying "did I make the things I chose to do today count?"

Think back to the last time you felt down in the dumps. Yeah your friends tried their best to cheer you up, but do you really remember that working?  For me the answer is "NO."  I know for me, I had to get over myself and look for an opportunity to serve someone else or do something that made a difference in someone else's life.

I think this is exactly the example God wanted us to see in the life of His Son Jesus Christ. As Jesus was praying in the garden, He was in torment, knowing the events that were about to take place. He even asked His Daddy, "please say no," but after he pleaded with His Father, He realized and still knew that to get over this torment and pain, He needed to love and serve others. Ultimately, He gave His life for you and I.

What a great way to determine whether our day truly counted! So I ask you, "Did You Make Today Count?"

I would love to hear your stories as to who and how you served someone today! Thank You Jesus for Your example.
