Today I am going to try to keep track of the times I attempt to “Do Good”. Then, I’ll post my results tonight. Just checking to see what it’s like to be attentive to this part of John Wesley’s General Rules.
…and of course, knitting counts!
Come back tonight!
Noon:
Okay ….couldn’t wait until tonight. Already I have issues.
Does Laundry count? Laundry OTHER than my own. Laundry that is washed, dried, folded and put away so that it can be used for things like going to school, playing sports and marching in parades? (band uniform). If it does: 3 loads done.
Does letting my neighbor come in, unannounced, to tour my house so they can see the paint colors? (see above to imagine how many piles of laundry is piled to do the greatest amount of good)
Just checking in before I go teach the art lesson with another mom at the elementary school. (hmmm, that probably counts too?)
5:45 p.m. :
While I was at the elementary school I noticed a sign “Collecting for Haiti”. Asked the office helper “Who are you giving the $ through?” “We don’t know” she answered. Quickly printed out UMCOR info and gave to principal while saying “I will help you in anyway I can. Check back with you on Monday.”
Listened to a wonderful teacher share her story.
Came home and checked status of uniforms needed for the weekend. Put in 2 more loads so that people will have what they need.
Not quite 6:00 p.m. still time to Do all the Good I can….
8:30 p.m. Watching Hope For Haiti Now: gave a little bit more to Haiti through UMCOR (took forever – kept getting bumped off! Maybe this is a good sign that others are doing the same?) - REALLY “Doing Good” because I thought, “Maybe if I call in George Clooney will answer” but then got hold of my Good self and reminded “me” that 100% of my money would go to Haiti and that I could talk to George anytime.
11:00 p.m. List finished.
