I love giving myself as a gift. I feel God has abundantly blessed me and while I joke about NOT being born with the “NO” gene, I do say yes a lot!
Friday, my day off…NOT. I said yes to bake in Flagstaff for the NAU Newman Parents weekend. I loved it. Was blessed to have my friend Christy come up with me and we baked for 5 hours. NO, we didn’t think it would take that long, but we produced a variety and a quantity- WE poured ourselves out in gift.
Saturday- Marriage class- eight hours- Our team poured themselves out in gift to 26 engaged couples. The reviews were positive. We felt we gave them gift of Theology of the Body that they can unwrap for the rest of their lives.
Today- Teens who are being catechized for the sacraments, and teens who are learning about saints..those amazing witness for all of us of what it means to pour our lives out in gift for God and for good.
Pray for us. Pray for our youth…they must learn too how to be a gift to this world and it is us that they look to for the examples!
