Focus
“The time I spend building memories and bonds with my kids and others outside my family, people in my neighbourhood and even outside of that, is what matters most.
Love can’t be quantified, calculated, accounted for in a clean house or a tidy garden.
Nor can it be defined by a career, a possesion or the amount of spare change my back pocket.
It’s easy to become distracted. To lose focus.
[These thoughts] they open up to me like those fireworks in the night sky, little illuminations in the dark.
Thank you.”

Scripture Drink:
“If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.
If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.” ~ 1 Cor. 13:1-3
Lord, if I clean, parent, work, but not with love, it is irrelevant, worthless, trash. Today, illuminate me. Let me focus and see the forever brilliance of doing everything with Christ-love, light in the dark.
