Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back --- given back with bonus and blessing!
To out-give means to exceed in giving; to hand out; give out or to surpass in giving.
This doesn't only mean by monetary means. You can give of your time, talents and knowledge as well. My intent for the coming year, to give away my life!
Today the only blessings I had to offer was coffee and lunch for my friend Miko and her daughter Sarah. And my kids. I also gave her two loaves of bread and toe socks. :)
A moment captured~
I was standing in the kitchen this afternoon washing dishes and I looked out the window in front of me to catch a glimpse of a bright light that seemed to be flickering. For a brief second, I thought there was a fire in the woods. It was the sun setting behind the trees. I grabbed my camera and ran outside to capture it before it set for the evening. A beautiful bright orange light playing peek-a-boo behind all those trees. It looks so warm and inviting even though it was really only 39 degrees outside. I stood and watched as it disappeared quickly into the night. Then, I ran back inside to finish the remainder of the dishes. As I stood there at the kitchen window I thanked God for nudging me to notice His light this evening. To run after it. To take delight in it. To capture it as a memory for later. It served as a reminder that His light is always there waiting for me to take notice. Sometimes it shines brilliantly. Sometimes it seems to be playing peek-a-boo. Sometimes I'm too focused on other things to see it. It's always there. God is light! I am thankful to be able to live in His light.
