A co-worker of mine has a huge English Mastiff that he calls Colossus! What a marvelous name for a dog! Colossus is anything of enormous size or importance. And, this dog IS enormous!!! And, he is beautiful!!!
What in your life is
enormous? Do you have a colossal heart? Do
you have a colossal garden? Colossal house? Colossal family? (Ha! Ha!)
And, think about this: what is
gigantic in your life? Are you large and
in charge at work? Or, at home? Has your business or career taken off in an
enormous way? If so, could you mentor someone at work and share your success to
aid another person?
Is your budget colossal? Then, share it!
Or, are your debts colossal and
you wish you could move that gigantic, monumental mountain? My heart goes out to you as you wade through
the enormity of that task to pay things off!
Whichever you have: a lot or a little, there is always a way to
share with someone in need. And, your
gesture could make a colossal impact on someone’s life who may feel less than,
unworthy or insignificant.
If you have blessings in your
life, would you consider sharing those blessings in a new way? Would you be willing to make a giant effect
on someone else’s life? If so, how could
you do that? Here are a few ideas:
Encourage a friend whose parent
is ailing.
Send a humorous card to someone
who just had surgery and is worried about recovery.
Donate to your favorite charity
today all those clothes you will never get into again.
Shovel the driveway of that
grouchy neighbor.
Call someone you need to make
amends with and talk.
Offer forgiveness and receive it.
Take an inventory. What can you part with that could help
someone else?
Sort out your garage and donate
items to City Union Mission or Center for Grace.
Volunteer to work in a soup
kitchen once a month.
Rescue a dog or a cat!
Fix a meal and take it to that
single mom and her family.
Take your ninety year old friend
to lunch and enjoy their company!
Colossal, huge, enormous,
mammoth, mountainous………apply the concept in a new way to impact your home, your
work, your neighborhood and/or your community!
And, if you are the one who needs
a colossal miracle in your life, ASK a friend to help, to pray, to be by your
side as you consider all the options.
You are NOT alone!
Then, go BE that miracle to
someone else!!!
Whatever it is in your life that
seems enormous and too difficult to move, just know that all things are
possible with God!
Put your thinking cap on: What can you do to make a colossal difference
in someone else’s life today?
Think: Colossus!!
Colossal!!!
One act could be HUGE in
someone’s life.
