On Wednesdays I work with a group of men and was asked the question last night, "Why do I do what I do (with regards to working with them)?" Why do I get involved in the lives of others? It is in community where faith is strengthened, passions deepened, gifts used, and blessings received.
I love to hear the stories of others, their life's journey, their ah-ha moments, their struggles. You see as we all share we all are blessed, we all can grow, we all can experience those ah-ha moments. Look at the Bible, it is now a dull dry list of do this, don't do that. No, rather it is a collection of stories meant to draw us into a closer relationship with God, to shape and mold us, to make us the person God wants us to be.
Why do I do what I do, because I am called to love God and love others so that is what I do.
