1/365 : Hands & Feet.

Happy New Year from Team Schlatter!

The encouragement we received during the 365 photo-a-day challenge is what spurred our NEW Team Schlatter 2014 blog. While the photo-a-day challenge was started to encourage me to use my new camera, God truly did something much bigger to Team Schlatter. Not just I the photographer (which that soon changed too!) but our family as a whole.

The lessons learned are too many to list but here are a few, if you look for good you will find it, if you look for bad you will find that too. If you live a life with a purpose you have something to wake up to each day. If you approach life with a team they hold you accountable on the days you don't want to. Lastly we learned that if you step up, God will bless you and go with you, but don't be fooled the enemy will be there too, he is real.

In 2014 Team Schlatter is challenging ourselves to follow the words of Hebrews 10:24 (NLT):

"Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works." 

Some call it "random acts of kindness" or maybe "pay it forward". However we are taking it a step further by removing the "random" and replacing that with daily. Our ideas are small, big, for ourselves, for one another, for friends, for strangers, for our community, for other nations, but one thing for sure they are with purpose -- we are purposely striving to daily to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

"Christ has no body on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out; yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good; and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now." ~Saint Teresa of Avila.

Follow us. Encourage us. Join us. May 2014 be our best year yet.
With Sincere Love, Team Schlatter.
