Seeing, And Meeting, The Needs of Others

ByTim Nolte Updated on
@YouVersion Plan ‘The CODE Unlocked’

Responding to the Needs of Others Around You

I have, at times, been cognizant of the needs of those I’ve been in connection with. Most often the help has come by way of financial assistance. There have been other times that non-financial needs have arose and I’ve responded, but those times seem to have been in the minority.

Being Intentional About Seeing, And Meeting, The Needs of Those Around Us

We are called to not only help our brothers and sisters in Christ, but to help all those in need around us. I’m reminded of the book the 10 Second Rule.

There are so many needs all around us. How often do we simply turn a blind eye all because of our own selfish desires? I know that I have. Whether it’s at home or at the grocery store, the challenge is to put others before ourselves.

    A Training Run Of Reflection

    ByTim Nolte
    This morning was not only filled with worship time but also some time of reflecting on the holiday and the joy of celebrating with family the birth of our Savior. I’m thankful for the day we had to put all of the challenges of recent days, weeks, and months aside and enjoy time together with family. The New Year is upon us and, as it approaches, I pray that God would continue to guide our family in fulfilling his plan. I also spent time thinking about the next Sierra Leone trip coming May, and the team God is putting together. I’m excited to see what He has in store. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Donate to Clean Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

    An “Easy” 5 Mile Recovery Training Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Decided to hit some of what used to be a pretty regular route for me. I still tweaked it a bit though. Today was supposed to be an “easy” run but it was more of a “comfortable” run for me, basically if I was comfortable running a sub-8 minutes per mile then that is what I ran. Perhaps it could be considered a fartlek run I guess. However, with my typically inconsistent running pace ever run I do could be considered a fartlek run. Ha. I did also enjoy a shorter run listening to a worship music running set. I wish there were more of those with some more recent music. I spent some time thinking about my former ministry cohort John Martinson and his…

    Getting The Saturday Long Run Done

    ByTim Nolte
    We all have those off days, for me today was one of those. The second half of my run was more challenging than last week. Given I PR’d for a half marathon I was surprised by today. I really can’t complain, I was supposed to be running a 9:40 min/mi pace. So in reality I was pushing when I shouldn’t have been. Some times I think about giving up the focus on pace and even getting faster and just go out and enjoy the run for what it is. I’m sure at some point I’ll get there, I’m just not sure if I’m ready to be at that place yet. When you are running for almost 2 hours you have a lot of time to…

    Hardships…Who’s to Blame?

    ByTim Nolte
    (Exodus 5:1-23) Initially it would seem that Moses and Aaron weren’t helping matters each time they talked to Pharaoh. The Isrealites even blamed them for making things harder for them. How did Moses and Aaron take that? Well we know that at least Moses in turn decided to blame God for what was happening to the Isrealites. It might seem that both the Isrealites and/or Moses were correct in placing blame, however they were wrong as God had a plan for it all. I think about when things, even small things, don’t go our way we so easily look to place blame. I think it can be so easy for us to lose sight of the possibility that God is working. We can never fully…

    Only In The Midwest, Rainy Run On Monday And A Snowy Run On Tuesday

    ByTim Nolte
    Once the winter weather season hits I always have to remember that I will end up slowing down. It’s a good time to focus on just enjoying the run. Some may thinks it’s pretty crazy to consider a winter run as something to be enjoyed. If you dress right you can easily enjoy a winter run. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Give To Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr
