SABRINA In teaching children of God’s love and plan for their lives, I always remind them that we are as much a part of God’s story, as Abraham, Moses, Daniel, David – we, as adults, often forget that! Henri Nouwen once wrote, “We seldom realize fully that we are sent to fulfill God-given tasks. We act as if we were simply dropped down in creation and have to decide to entertain ourselves until we die. But we were sent into the world by God, just as Jesus was. Once we start living our lives with that conviction, we will soon know what we were sent to do.” How different would our lives be if, each morning, we looked in the mirror and asked, “God, what would you have me to do today?” We each have a story, a call; a cause that is part of God’s plan for our lives and for the lives of those we touch. A plan that has been since the beginning of time. When we walk alongside those walking the paths that we have walked, we are indeed the hands and feet of Jesus – a part of God’s great story. It IS our greatest purpose in life. Go today, blessed by God, loved by God, and in service to God.
