(Cousins playing football at Thanksgiving)

The other night I overwhelmed with a couple of things I needed to complete that were time sensitive. Sensing my tension Matt came into the kitchen where I was working and said, “Mom, I’ll make dinner for you.” I thought he was joking but he wasn’t. He got right to work, and made the family a delicious meal.

I don’t share this to boast about Matt but more so to share what he taught me; if you see a need and your able to meet it, meet it.

I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.™

May we keep our eyes and ears open to the needs that are around us, at home and beyond. If it is in our ability to meet a need, let’s choose to meet it. I know sometimes there are so many needs that it can paralyze us from doing anything, or we think someone else will do it. Let’s make the choice to do at least one thing over nothing. For when we do, we will experience an inexplicable joy in our heart for choosing to help someone else just because we could, without the expectation of getting anything in return, like Matt.

With love and hope,

Shawn
