Day Sixteen
“For he satisfies the thirsty, and fills the
hungry with good things.” Psalm 107: 9
What color would you like to be today? If you
knew that eating blueberries would turn you blue, or lemons yellow, or peanut
butter brown, what would you choose for your breakfast?
Pink flamingos stand out in a crowd of birds.
Sometimes they are also red or orange but they are best known for being pink.
The interesting part is that without a particular substance of carotenoid in
their diet they will be plain white. They can get the carotenoid from eating
shrimp and algae. Some captured flamingos are also given carrots and beets in
their diet to help them maintain their colors.
“You must have the same attitude that Christ
Jesus had” (Philippians 2:5).
We can show our colors each day by the words
we use, even when we don’t talk. A scowl shows grumpy colors. A smile is
friendly. Sometimes we can change another person’s colors by acting with
kindness.
Jesus said, “Do to others as you would like
them to do to you.”
What kind of spiritual food might help us
change our dull hearts to beautiful hearts?
Action
1. Make a
list of colors you think would be fun to be for a day.
2. Write
down actions that show how nice that color can be.
3. Choose
one of the actions to practice for a week, or try a different one each day.
