A Gift — Serving with Joy

Can I bless you or give you something to help others?

Don't miss out on what's best for you... while trying to NOT miss out on someone else's best.

Everything and everyone has their own season... and if you're not careful, you'll miss the absolute best of YOUR season trying to live someone else's life. Not only will you suffer much frustration and disappointment but so will your spouse, children, family, friends, community and so on.

Don't miss out on what's best for you, and those who mean the most to you, wishing you were living someone else's life. Enjoy and rejoice over the blessings and beauty of others in their seasons of life, for that is a good thing. But do it with balance and never at the expense of being present... in your life, within your home, with your family and ministry. Being grounded and content in your own season... is one of the sweet joys of life and a gift from the giver of good gifts.

Pay attention... don't miss the wording:
