Not everyone has a their own bubble gum card. But everyone can make up something creative.I intentionally include statements about me that are cutting. Weakness opens doors here and there!
When I hand this card out, some are intrigued and others are ho-hum. But when they read the back; all laugh and I'm in the door.
What are simple ways we can reach out? I share some of my tools for caring.
- Create a business card they will remember.
- At the bank today I invited the teller to our church with the reminder that the first three visits are free. Some laugh, but one of more recent visitors has been the lady from the loan office that I mentioned such to her at our house closing.
- Pray. Pray for people when you see no sign of them having any attraction to God or the church. Pray...thanking Him for reaching to hearts.
- Believe. Believe that every person you come into contact with is filled with loneliness and/or self-doubt in pockets of their spirit life; especially those who try to hide it the most.
- Relax. Move through life robust for the day. Enjoy God, His creation, and His community.
These surely aren't the most professional; but then we are simply ordinary people reaching to everyone of whom He would think. What a life we have. We are walking invitations. Believe it...there are so many who wish to be invited!
