In the "Good and Beautiful Community" this week we read about doing peculiar acts for someone. Something out of the ordinary and generally nice. Something that isn't really expected by our standards of living for today. I have been racking my brain all week as to what to do that would be "really good".
Not really the point of the exercise. Chalk it up to humanity, vain-glory, wanting to be the best, etc... but I really wanted to be able to say I did this amazing thing for someone! Not necessarily because of my love for them, or out of my time spent with Jesus, but because I wanted to "win" at this training exercise.
And reflecting back on this week today, I'm glad that God didn't allow me to think of that thing. That I was humbled before Him. I did pick up the dishes when I was a guest at someone's home. They weren't expecting that.
