"But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."
Hebrews 13:16
I like this because sometimes these things do feel like a sacrifice. It's hard to reach out to others sometimes, and it is also hard to reach out to God. Sometimes we just want to curl up into a little ball and binge watch our favorite show and let the world go by.
I don't think that is a bad thing occasionally. We need rest and a break from stress sometimes... but as with everything, we can overdo it. When our focus becomes escaping reality rather than living in it or learning from it, perhaps we need to listen to this scripture and engage positively with the world a little more, setting a good example and doing what we can to make things better. :)
Today, let's crawl out of our comfortable hobbit-holes and do some good and communicate... or even combine the two and communicate some good, which seems an awful lot like publishing peace, which we know is also a good thing to focus on. :) As we do, God will bless us with an increased capacity to deal with reality in a positive way. :)
