This morning … I’m thinking about a dear friend … who is about to cross life’s finish line. I see the pictures of people banding together to help folks who have lost so much in the hurricanes. I think of our worship service last night —- praying for so many people who need to know they are not alone. Wow —- life can be and is so precious. But life can also be fragile — taken away from us in a moment of time. This all makes me realize (and I shouldn’t have to be reminded) —– how important it is to give and to love and to share … whenever we can, wherever we are. Isn’t it true?? … when we take the time to be gentle and kind … when we take the gifts and blessings we have, as small as we think they may be … when we give from the very heart-and-soul of who we are … ahhhhh —- it feels good. We are in touch with the person God wants us to be. Well — it’s another day. Who knows exactly what today and tomorrow will bring. Maybe we can fill it with a small act of kindness or two —— yes, this is who we are called to be. It’s amazing what can happen when Jesus gets inside our soul. Love and peace to all — Don
