Just like the vitamins they advertised on television years ago, we recommend you try \u2018one a day.\u2019 Try to proactively prepare to have one interaction a day where you consciously display God\u2019s grace. A measured word. A smile. A compliment. In this sin-obsessed world, a visual and verbal approach will shine through. <\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Our friend over at Every Square Inch asked the question, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/everysquareinch.blogspot.com\/2008\/08\/why-dont-we-share-good-news-at-work.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Why Don\u2019t we share?\u201d<\/a> He gives some possiblities for our inability to share \u2014 we are afraid that workplace interactions could cause problems (<em>hyper sensitivity to a PC world)<\/em> or there are more pressing issues. But the real issue is that we don\u2019t \u201clove our neighbor\u201d enough to share the good news. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>So, try the RLB One-A-Day approach. You can\u2019t save the world, but can impact a single person each and every day.
