Sharing Gifts

3/16/18 Our heavenly Father, we come again asking for your blessing on this fellowship. Remind us of who we are and the needs of this community. Help us to see beyond the ‘weather’ of today – to be grateful for Life itself – to be less anxious about what ‘might happen’ and to share our gifts with others. Amen

I am not a gifted writer, but I can share this gift, the gift of my parents prayers left in a plastic recipe box. I can share the gift of our family’s memories and motivations. I can share our quirky gift of seeing things differently, a trait my youngest, also exhibits.

Today that took the form of light. I don’t understand the warm fuzzy comments to a sad story (on social media) of, “I send light and hope.

WTH? How do you “send light”?

If I have a problem, I am willing to share on social media, I obviously need my heavenly Father to intervene. He is the light. He helps me see beyond my dark clouds.

So maybe your gifts take other forms. No problem. They still can be shared, in person, not just “sent.”
