How we respond to life matters. From my point of view, God blesses us with many gifts, some more recognizable than others. Our purpose is to use those to elevate the world around us. The very community you are in — your group of friends, peers at work or those in your neighborhood — I believe all were designed to be in your life.
I heard a message last weekend that stuck with me. The idea being to ask ourselves what have we done with those gifts we have been given… (“the more”)
Did we receive an extra dose of JOY that others could use?
Do we have a cozy apartment or home that we can share with others?
Have our life experiences delivered a powerful story that would inspire and help others overcome their challenges?
I personally hadn’t thought about my “joy” as a gift, but I think it can be. Do I use it as often as I could… especially at home? Most of us have been given more than we need in every category and the next few weeks it is fun to see how people all around share that “more” in the many ways the season offers.
Have the best week and revel in sharing your gifts.
