Working off of random acts of kindess and paying it forward seems to have a positive effect on communities. I just don’t know why we forget to do that.

Agreed. I have a tendency to react sometimes especially with children rather than discerning. Often God has someone in mind and I was just suppose to notice and pray. He works in my ordinary daily activities so sometimes it happens so naturally I cannot tell what is me and what is Him. Maybe that is prayer without ceasing. Hard question for me is “is there a ministry of the presence?” Scripture often talks about descent or entering into Spirit. God is always present but sometimes He is actively working The more I study, the more I become more faithful in my devotions but most of all the more I listen and seek Him the harder it is for me to discern what is me and what is Him. If it is so for me, then there are others and what we interpret as a problem may very well be God’s work. LOL!

Comment on Our small group is studying “The Intentional Family” by William Doherty by michaelrinehart

So far. I’m half way in. It’s a realization of how family life and civic life has shifted. Citing Putnam, he discusses how many of us grew up in neighborhoods where we knew everyone on the street. Now we rarely know the person three houses down. When houses were smaller we lived in the community, rather than spending all the time in our little houses. There are also quite a few chapters on birthday rituals, holiday rituals, Valentine’s Day, etc. Expectations differ. The book helps us think thorough how our faith informs some of these choices. The author encourages families to think through and establish family rituals intentionally.

Sometimes the most important prayer is for the wisdom / guidance to know if, by some weird call, you ARE supposed to be the one to do something. I suspect that we all tend to start from “What a shame… Hope somebody does something about that..” and never have the … guts(?) to ask that hard question, of ourselves or of God.
