Having just read a book by Paula D'Arcy called "The Gift of the Red Bird" I think it is time we all ask ourselves the question "What are we living for?"
A simple question with a list of answers long enough to fill several libraries I am afraid.
I suspect it is day by day and week for week for most of us.
To have a father or mother sit us down at some wee age and begin to show us that seeking first the kingdom of heaven is not beyond our grasp and then give us simple guidelines to begin that journey would be amazing.
Not rules and regulations or tips on how to be popular but relational sub-texts for an abundant life.
Just imagine what the bride of Christ would look like and the world around us if we were all on the same page of the same book and for the same purpose.
Just a thought on this year-end post.
Blessings to you a yours.

Thanks for that, Terry. I imagine it most every day! Maybe as we all get closer to Jesus, becoming more like Him, we will become more unified in purpose. It's the only way I know of to accomplish that seemingly impossible dream.

It is so hard to communicate that true fulfillment can only come in Jesus. Especially in the US, where we can have every comfort. I felt torn this Christmas. I felt guilty for the sheer amount of stuff the kids received (although most of it came from other family members) but also, I wanted to revel in their joy and lavishly give them all their heart desires.
