Help me believe I’m someone worth dying for

clever water bottle message
Last night at the Cross Country pasta party – noticed this on the water bottle.

 

Help me believe i’m someone worth dying for.

You’ve got to believe.

Right?

You’re not just some wondering soul.

Correct?

You, yes you, you are someone worth dying for.

i am?

Thank you Jesus.

Yesterday (Friday) felt like Saturday

Prepared for the worst. Deeply grateful it never even came close.

 

Yesterday (Friday) felt like Saturday.

And then on Sundays, stereotypically, we are more spiritually aware then we are the other six days of the week.

What if we felt spiritually aware every day?

What holds us back from this Sunday-like spiritual awareness?

What if we weren’t held back?

What, if anything, would change?

What do the people who are spiritually aware every day do differently that others could learn to do?

Inconvenience is a blessing

punctured tire
Last night pulling into our subdivision we ran over a wire that embedded into the back tire.

 

Inconvenience is a blessing. Will have to address the punctured tire today. This will require several unanticipated hours of distraction.

The blessing is it wasn’t something:

  • Worse
  • Much worse
  • Catastrophic

Other blessings include:

  • A flexible work schedule
  • A creative mind
  • A backup car to use

The list is endless.

The Grace of unpredictability

Nelson Mandela quote
Randomly taken photo a few days ago.

 

The Grace (unmerited favor) of unpredictability.

Being turned down for a reason you never saw coming is Grace. Why? You are being given a wonderful opportunity to learn and react. But only if you see it that way. Otherwise, it’s failure at best and devastation at worst.

We should be thankful to be offered a reason. Many never know.

Perhaps our greatest daily tragedy

Disney keynote speaker website list
“Themed” gratitude.

 

Perhaps our greatest daily tragedy is not pausing for (as little as) a minute to give thanks for the gift of another day.

Has anyone tried this?

What would happen to you if you spent more quiet time in the mornings before getting on with your day?

What, if anything, changed?
