December is busy, right? Try and be present in each place with each person. Slow down and feel the rhythm of conversations. Be a good listener. Find a way to engage in advent this year. Breathe Christ in this Christmas and exhale JOY even IF…Joy in the … sorrow, chaos, move… JOY in this season.
I do this for you! You matter! You are valuable! You are deeply loved by me but even more so by God! He's good at LOVE!
I don't have much to offer and so often I look at all I have and think, “This is it.” I was sweetly reminded that when the disciples looked at a hungry crowd of 5,000 they didn't know what to do. Jesus didn't say, “You are fishermen. Go fish. Work Harder. Be better providers.” He asked them to give him what they have and HE multiplied it. That's what I'm asking us to do. Breathe that in. Two fish and five loaves were enough.
What do you have that you can offer up to God and see how HE can multiply it? Maybe you are an artist, or a teacher, or a business person, maybe you have two dollars to give or thousands, maybe you serve or hold a door open, or maybe you pray, maybe you fish, farm or ranch, or you're a police officer, or you are great with numbers… We are are each hand crafted.
Your gifts are unique to you. You MATTER!!! YOU are here for a purpose! God has plans for us and purpose for us! When you look at two fish and five loaves, remember in God's hands, HE uses what we give HIM for good. What we have is enough. GOD satisfy us with your unfailing LOVE.
God grant us peace! Help us settle in HOPE, FAITH, and LOVE being KIND in everything we do.
Lots of love,
