A GEICO moment

 I had someone email me back when I had my podcast and wanted to know as a Christian what is the difference between having a good day and a bad day. I thought about it for a long time and answered, " Have a GEICO moment!" What's a GEICO moment you ask. The difference is about 15 minutes.

Think about it. GEICO commercials always emphasize the difference 15 minutes can make. So let me ask you-Just how long does it take to really live the way that God always meant for you to live? How long does it take to say, "I love you God. Thank you for my life"? How long does it take to say a little prayer for someone you care about? How long does it take to tell a friend, "You are looking good today"? How long does it take to stop your children in the hallway and give them a hug? How long does it take to share a warm smile and a heartfelt "thank you" with a cashier in a store? How long does it take to compliment a loved one, to share a laugh with a friend, or to think a joyous, optimistic thought? You can do all of these things and even more in just 15 minutes a day.

Is 15 minutes a day too long to turn your life around? Is 15 minutes a day too long to live a life full of love, joy, and wholeness with God? Is 15 minutes a day too long to make this world a better and more Heavenly place? If you want to be doing good in your life then spend that 15 minutes a day "truly" doing some good in your life. If you want to be doing even better try 20, 30, or 60 minutes a day. If you do you will see how the power of your love can change the world moment by moment. If you do you will feel the love of God inside you and hear the laughter of angels surrounding you as you bless the world with your life. 


If GEICO could change your life in 15 minutes or less how many lives can you affect in the same amount of time? Isn't it about time for a GEICO moment in your life?
