So what can you do

This is my 78th post. So I like posting. So ... what is your purpose in life? If it's not about me/you, we are eternal beings and life is temporal, what do we do to glorify God? We use our gifts and uniqueness, funny how this blesses us too. I marvel at my sister's ability to clean a house like a whirlwind. I marvel at another sister's gift of mercy and genuine care. I marvel at many characteristics in others and this makes me glorify God. So what can you do? Not sure, give blood, donate organs once gone, but I think using your gifts is one of the keys. That's your purpose while you're finding your purpose if you know what I mean.

Did you pass the test?

The other day I failed the test.

'When will I ever learn to live in God, when will I ever learn" (Van Morrison)

One thing particularly makes me angry. It was a group of three push bike riders in front of my car doing about 10 Km per hour. Yes I gave them a serve. I didn't want to knock one off. Straight after the event I was so convicted. What a hypocrite, what a disgrace. I had trouble forgiving myself after that, and it really took a quick prayer with a witness to get it out of my system. I had to justify myself and say, Do you think I could've saved a life? I certainly gave them a surprise. Anyway life is full of these unexpected situations. If you look upon it as a test, you might just pass. Good luck next time your buttons are pushed.

Amazing Girl

I look at the girl at church with six children. She looks young,well, about 30, thin - great and then studies part time. I wonder how on earth does she 'refill.'
In Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life we learn it's not about me/you. Our purpose in God is usually something other than ourselves.

The amazing girl has her source is in giving you know.. Give and it shall be given to you … not just in one currency.

This applies to picking a flower from a bush. The bush reproduces more and more flowers. Life keeps these amazing people going and returns to them in full.
