We talk a lot about doing healthy things that will give us a longer, more active life.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Unless you have a reason for living, there isn\u2019t much incentive in stretching it out.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why it\u2019s important that you have a focus in your life — a reason to live.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about you, but I want my life to make a difference. \u00a0 If it isn\u2019t a big difference, that\u2019s okay. I just want to be used by God in some way to make life better for someone.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of opportunities for that.\u00a0 The world is full of people who need you. There are foster children who need advocates and mentors, people in homeless shelters and sober living houses who need basic living supplies, and elderly people in nursing homes who are forgotten and alone.\u00a0 Whatever your talent, there is a mission field just your size.<\/p>\n
Ask God where He wants you to serve — and don\u2019t be surprised when an opportunity reaches up to grab you!<\/p>\n
Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
