Three Simple Questions

Would you like to know three quick, simple questions that will instantly move your conversations beyond the weather and how your sports team are doing?

Several years ago I was visiting a church in the state of Washington.

One of the women on the church staff shared about a recent phone conversation she had with a friend in another state.  She said that whenever we connect we always ask each other three questions:

1. What’s on your schedule?

2. Who’s on your heart?

3. How can I pray for you?

To myself, I said, “BINGO!” and immediately wrote the three questions down.  Frankly I don’t remember anything from the pastor’s message that morning (and I am not suggesting it wasn’t good), but I am still making use of those three questions!

Idea:   Who are five friends that you could e-mail or text or call today to ask:

 “You have been on my mind!

I was just wondering:

1. What’s on your schedule?

2. Who’s on your heart?

3. How can I pray for you?”

Love,”

How would you feel if one of your friends sent you an e-mail or text with these three questions?

By the way – I am your friend and would love to know your answers to the three questions – please send them to me at bob.tiede@cru.org  I promise to keep your answers confidential and I promise to pray for you!
