4 Things You Can Do Today

Change your world from right inside your home - use these four ideas to help you focus your energy, even when you're stuck at home.

(1) Change your world starting with yourself. Study the Bible. Read some devotionals. Examine your attitudes, desires, thoughts, and goals. Have time with God.

(2) Change your parents' world. Show your parents you care. Ask for their advice, then listen. Help clean, cook, manage your siblings, care for the pets...whatever. Respect them, respect their opinions, and trust them.

(3) Change your siblings' world. You have no idea how much your younger siblings look up to you, or how much it means to your older siblings when you respect and value them. Spend some quality time learning from and teaching your siblings - they'll always be there for you.

(4) Change your friends' world. Text, e-mail, or IM someone you haven't talked to in awhile. Contact someone who's going through a tough time to let them know you care. Look up Bible verses to tell someone who has drama in their life. Send an annonymous Dayspring e-card. Brighten someone else's world.

  1. I needed a reminder today and this was perfect! Sometimes I don't feel like I can change the world for God, but you reminded me that this is what I can do every day and it WILL make a difference in the world for the Glory of God!
