Day 3,779

Growth:

A beautiful quote / story that seems extraordinarily fitting today, a personal reminder of one of the biggest ways I can work to close the gap between who I am and who I should be:

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?”

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Appreciation:

A change of perspective can make a large difference in the experience. Church this morning was very similar yet extraordinarily different than our normal experience, and the change made a large difference in the way I soaked in the message. I’m very grateful for the subtle shift creating a very positive experience!

Presence:

This morning we went to a different church and had an opportunity to re-connect with and old friend we hadn’t seen in person for years. It was wonderful getting to know him again catching up with all the ways life has changed. Gotta love those unexpected moments in which we’re able to get bonus time with those who’ve made a positive impact on our lives!

Thanks!!!
