Life on purpose

We are in the midst of our "40 Days of Community" campaign at church. This Sunday's focus was on reaching out together. It's great to see the whole church all focused on a single purpose from the young kids to the silver crowns.

We have a devotional that we are reading each day for these 40 days and yesterday's entry really provoked thought. It talked about being wise in the way you act with other people and making the most of every opportunity. Very interesting. It changes the way you think about a mundane Monday.

I have an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life today.

Who knows the people around you and I everyday that may be depressed, broke, questioning their existence, and maybe even thinking the world would be better without them.

I believe that our creator has poured good things into our lives to share with others. As I pour into others, God pours more into me.

Today I may need to pour out peace

Today I may need to pour out mercy

Today I may need to pour out laughter

Today I may need to pour out comfort

Today I may need to pour out understanding

Today I may need to pour out kindness

Today I may need to pour out unconditional love


As I pour these things into others, I will be refilled. This is constant flow. Helping others is true wealth. This is living in abundance.

Thanks for letting me share these thoughts on the funky site.
