Staying in Croatia, where the temperatures sometimes climbed up to 38 degrees celcius in the shade, we stayed in with the clima some days and watched television. Some of our favorite shows where showing reruns and it hit me that one of the qualities I like in a TV show is that they have characters acting out what I think a christian life should be (if you take away the supernatural element)

I was watching, among other shows, boston public and Judging Amy. And I ask myself are we, as Christians,  as invested in our lives as these fictional every day heroes. The Principal who uses all his time to try to help students realize they have a future, the teacher who will go to a students home out of concern for their welfare, the social worker who actually cares about every case that comes on her desk and weeps over the misfortune of these children, the judge that gives up every waking moment to give fair sentences and take all the time every case needs to dig to the bottom of  it.

What all these have in common is that they are in the buisness of restoring people, as we should be as Christians. We should be restoring people to teh high value that God has placed in them, restore people to what they should be had the human race not fallen.

Telling people that they are indeed valuable and then showing with our actions that we truly believe so. What are you doing today in your work situation to lift people up? Are you doing your very best every day to reflect the glory of God and give frelly of the Love that we have been given so freely from Him who loved us while we where yet sinners?

The love of God is not reserved for sunday morning, lets be Salvation Army soldiers lets show the love of God on our every day job, strive for excellence and achieve miracles.

Have you checked out “Serve! magazine” – http://www.serve-others.com/issue1/index.cfm ? Seems to me that a lot of everyday heroes actually exists, and hangs out there.

(Like the new look on the site, by the way. Have just read the RSS for a while, so I’ve missed the redesign… Nice work!)
