My faith calls me to be an agent for love and justice in the world.  With so much need for both of them  I’m easily overwhelmed.  Increasing love and justice for me, my loved ones, and total strangers is a daunting task. It’s hard to mark and measure. So I’ve decided to make myself a chart to note some of the times when I’m living out my values.  When I think about it I imagine that in some areas I  do them nearly every day but I rarely give myself credit—and I’m sure I miss the boat entirely in others.  This chart will be a way to give myself credit for overlooked acts, while inspiring me to live out my values in other more difficult areas. For example  I’ve never even thought about how to increase justice for myself before!

I’ll give this tool a try to see if it brings me more joy and ease as I work to be an agent for love and justice in 2016.

Here an example of the chart with goals for this month:
