I was looking at an old thread and it touched me to want to set up "do good'r" thread where we share good deeds and outcomes as part of an effort to encourage one another as per this thread: https://christianforums.net/threads/love-and-good-works.48898/#post-829644.

While this may seem like a good idea, is it possible it can become too much of a self indulgence or boasting thread? I think caution would be advised.
“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men."
Matthew 6:1-2 NKJV

Mm, yeah. What WIP said. I try to keep my good deeds a secret if possible, or unless people specifically ask me about it.
I will add on the next two verses from the ones WIP already gave.
Mat 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Mat 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
There is no such thing as a "do goodr" as what we do are the continued works of the Lord as we let the light of Christ shine out from us that others will come to know Him. Matthew 25:35-40 are the continued works of the Lord through us and we need not boast as our treasures are stored up in heaven.
