Reflection
We are all born unique. We are a one-time phenomenon in the universe – our exact genetic makeup has never occurred before nor will it ever be repeated. In our span of life our uniqueness wants to grow, transform itself, and flower to its full potential. The task of life – the gift of years- is to bring that seed to flourishing.
Prayer
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made
Psalm 139
Action
Consider the gift of your life. Do you appreciate the potential that is in you? Do you recognize it? What do you feel you are called to be…to do? How can you act on it?
