This is powerful and really makes me think about the efforts one makes. Today's devotional I read (d365.org) made me think about community and sharing oneself with others while taking in others' giftedness.

I'm reading a book entitled Arriving at your own door by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Today (#2) notes that in some Asian languages the word for mind is

also the word for heart.

So to be mind-ful (or mindfull) is to be heart-full as well. My challenge today was to PROACTIVELY give extra kindness and grace. I don't know that I was exactly proactive, but I feel that I was positive, kind, and gracious. I have really, really been working on positivity and looking for the good, the GREAT in every person and every thing. Ultimately I know Jesus will is going to be fulfilled so when I'm critical or resistant, I am not being obedient.

When I took the Strengths Finder the first time I had positivity in my top 5. After working in a bad situation for five years, I lost alot of that-now it is my goal to regain that by pouring into that aspect.

I hope I'm being an obedient child of God....

A Time to ThinkI don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.—Albert Schweitzer
