Acting small, impacting big: Brian's story

Do you ever have those days where everything seems to be an up-hill battle? Days where you keep sending emails and forgetting the attachments or make spelling mistakes in a document which completely change the message you're trying to convey?

Today, Dot has been trying to email our FRESH delegates in readiness for this weekend and we're now up to attempt three. The last one should have said, "Someone forgot their brain this morning" but instead said, "someone forgot their brian this morning." We're pretty sure she didn't mean to reveal that she usually brings some guy called Brian with her to work, and for sure we've never seen him!

While this probably seems like the most insignificant thing ever to those of you reading this, it's given us all a much needed laugh in the office. We've been pretty busy recently, what with Pentecost Festival programme deadlines, the approaching FRESH weekend and Influence all happening in the same week, so this has just given us a break from that.

I love the way the smallest incident can make the biggest difference to someone's day. While I'm not encouraging you to send ridiculous emails, I am encouraging you to look for the small things in your day-to-day that God wants to use to make other people's day.

I've recently been reading Ephesians, and last Sunday was preaching on Ephesians 2:1-10. How an working out God's grace through our actions? When was the last time you did something random (but good) for someone you'll probably never meet again?

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Eph 2:10)

Let's spread the randomness together!
