Somehow I seem to think every gift has to be the perfect gift. But it’s something I’ve been working on. I’ve been reminding myself that while I do want to put thought into the gifts I buy, it’s not about some kind of perfection.

I am so YOU in the re-telling, I would have labored over the choosing of those shoes too, and then I can only imagine your thoughts when she displayed her fuzzy slippers!
As I’m participating in the summer memory challenge with you in Matthew, pondering Mathew 6:25, with you here is great. I did not make the same connection, but God has drawn me in here, because “Life is more than my schedule/agenda”.

I have recently become so focused on those things I am literally losing life, the abundant life Christ promised. Thank you for this wonderful reminder today, I will be sitting with this question often.

I pray before I do any thing that God will lead and guide me wherever I go and whatever l do. The Holy Spirit simplifies everything l enjoy browsing and shopping. Life can be so complex. That is a great message! Thank you.

And, yes, when there are a lot of choices, my brain sometimes gears into overdrive. I resonate with your gentle reminder that the best thing we can do is be present with the humans in our days. With my busy June, I’m taking this reminder to heart and will choose to be more concerned about the people than the choices/things coming in the future/worries, etc.

Oh, to have the time back wasted on replaying past conversations and decisions. Wonderful thoughts, Lisa—as always.

I think it’s worth pondering. And I’m happy you framed it up the way you did in your newsletter. Hmmm… Still pondering.

Isn’t life more than ___?” is a great one to tuck into my heart. love fill in the blank things like this: so open and inviting. I have been using both with directees and with myself.
I want….
I need…
I hope…
