Have a good Memorial Day weekend!

Something written and sent earlier this week from Max Lucado. He 'assigns' us something to do in the next twenty-four hours. Even though we might be busy, we might be interacting with other people and have 'time' to think about or do what he suggests:

 
Rejoice in the Success of Others
 
"We are not God's gift to humanity. God can use each of us, but He doesn't need any of us. We're valuable, but not indispensable. You love, but who loved you first? You serve, but who served the most? What are you doing for God that God couldn't do alone? How wise of us to remember Paul's antidote for the joy sucking self-promotions. 'With humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself' (Philippians 2:3).

"Here's a helpful exercise that can turn your focus off yourself and on to others. During the next twenty-four hours make it your aim to celebrate everything good that happens to someone else. Keep a list. And you'll move from joy to joy as you regard other people's success as more important than your own. This is how happiness happens."
