Your Gospel Bucket List

Your Gospel Bucket List
  Most people know how to make a bucket list.  This list involves hopes and achievements that an individual wishes to complete in their lifetime, before getting too old or death.  Maybe on the list is places to travel, foods to try or even learning to drive a boat or operate a crane!  There are all sorts of categories for a bucket list, likely some more risky than others.
 What about changing your list to a "gospel bucket list"?   It does not matter if you are just starting your life with Jesus as Lord, or if you have been on the journey with Jesus for 40 years.  The gospel bucket list can help you to embrace Christ and service to Christ in a whole new way.
  Here is a short list of ideas for a gospel bucket list:
  *Spend time caring for the homeless
  *Read a minimum of 12 Christian books a year
  *Plan a fundraiser for missions
  *Find a prayer partner for one year
  *Participate in a "Adopt a Child" program
  *Help in teen ministry for 6 months
  *Take a short-mission trip to a new area for you
The list can be as long as your imagination.....
  Why would you want to spend your life watching from the sidelines?  You can believe in the fact that God will do great things with you as you work on that gospel bucket list.   Jesus asks us to live by faith, trust him, double down, get going and serve Him. Don't forget how your gospel bucket list will impact other lives too.  
   Scripture for today:  "Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered." (Proverbs 11:25)
