What Is Your Calling?

Do you feel like you have a “calling”?

Does it even matter to you? And assuming it does, how much does it matter to you?

Are you deep into your calling already? Or are you waiting until you retire?

You know, simply being a stay-at-home Mom may be a calling. Or maybe it’s running your own business, one that employs people, and provides goods and services.

Then again, you might humbly be called to help the elderly couple who live across the street from you, because they have no nearby relatives remaining to help them.

I believe when you learn to live well, you will also have learned how to die well.

No fear. Only joy. And hope. And faith.

And love.

“Please Bless Everyone Gathered Here…”

So I began with the prayer with the blog title here and then continued on with this:

“All the adults and all the children.

Dear Heavenly Father, please bless the adults with your wisdom and your guidance to complete a successful year.

And please bless the children with the determination to serve, to strive and not to yield.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen.”

Our Pack leader agreed, just before the inaugural meeting started – short and sweet – 1st & 2nd graders attention spans must be respected at 7PM.

There is an art to saying a lot with a little.

It works with 6 and 7 year olds, and it’s effective at work too.

Get A Little Church Up Here?

How many words is a picture worth?

And how many words are in this picture?

Doesn’t matter. What matters is that we don’t go through our daily motions and miss inspirational moments, so that we can let that inspiration linger in us long enough to pay it forward.

The words in the picture that did that for me?

“And let us Love each other well, in Christian Holiness”.

Let’s forgive each other our human sins, as we would expect, or hope, others would do for us.

Lemonade?

I’m thankful for a spotty Internet signal.

It drove me craaaazy for the first few days. It was not what I expected.

The unexpected happens to us all the time, right?

We mainly stereotype “the unexpected” with negative connotations.

Guess it’s just conditioning.

We can also undo this conditioning.

I’m thankful for a slow (like dial-up slow) connection. No, seriously.

Why?

Because a slow connection, beats no connection.

Blessings come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes, blessings have no resemblance whatsoever.

50 Days Later

You know who shapes the minds, bodies and spirits of children?

No, seriously, do you know?

You do!

It was 50 days after Jesus’ resurrection that the Holy Spirit descended upon them. Some say this is the day the Church was born. This morning, it’s my privilege to help several dozen youngsters understand this a little better than they did yesterday.

And 50 days from today, will it still be with them? What kind of pressure do you place on yourself to be a beacon for children?
