Today was Matt’s first day of school. Kate and Gavin have another week or so before they start. To my surprise they both woke up early to be able to send Matt off to school this morning.

Trust me when I say we have many messy moments in our home but this morning I saw a beautiful moment, I saw love in action as Kate and Gav chose Matt over sleep, not an easy thing for a teen to choose.

I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.

May we look at those around us and ask ourselves how we can be love in action for someone who needs it today. And like teens sacrificing sleep to show up for their brother, may we recognize that being love in action may cost us something, but often it will be worth it

With love and hope,

Shawn
