When my daughter Aimee was in nursery school, she'd come home each day with drawings, collages, and other projects. Next to her own name she'd scrawl the name of someone she loved--usually Mommy or Daddy, sometimes baby brother Ben. "I did this for you," she'd proudly say.

As I reflect on this, I remember the apostle Paul's exhortation, "Whatever you do ... do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Colossians 3:17). If Aimee could do every school project for me or for her dad, surely I can do my "projects" for my heavenly Father. Now I often ask myself, Have I written my Lord's name on all I've have done today?
