I love a good project. You know why? Because there is an END! And, like any good project, this one is ending today.
Did I do all 30 days? No. I guess by that measurement, the project was a failure.
But, the purpose of this project was to make me focus on the things for which I am thankful, and to be mindful of showing love to those around me. By that measurement, the project was a success. Because I knew I would have to write about it, I was more mindful of things for which I am thankful. And as I focused on some, I began to see more.
It also challenged me in ways that I did not foresee. I realized how very blessed I am, and how very little I give in return. That's a shameful admission, but there it is.
I need to be serving more. I need to be giving of myself more. I don't know HOW yet. I don't know where, or to whom. But I know there are plenty of people who need, who struggle for the basic needs.
In my day to day life, I am apt to focus on the short-comings, the things that nag at me, or needle me, or just bother me. (That's a whole lotta "me" there!) But, in truth, I have been blessed on this earth beyond what I deserve, beyond what I would have though possible just a few short years ago. With these blessings is an expectation that I will share them with others. But how? That's a matter for prayer and consideration. I am sure that as I seek His will, He will show me.
