"'No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub;
they put it on the lamp-stand to shine for everyone in the house.'"
I am charged with sharing my light, my gifts, my talents with all I meet. I know they aren't really uniquely mine, but God's and that they were given to me to do God's will, that is, to love other people and spread God's love. My gifts should serve as an inspiration to others. As I celebrate and share my gifts, I give others permission to share theirs. We then live to our highest and best potential by glorifying God through the demonstration and implementation of who we are most deeply and completely.
Dear God, may I love you profoundly by loving myself and others through the practice of my gifts. May I do so with a joyful heart and a smile, knowing that I am alive. May I look to others like my sister Andrea, who, despite great physical pain, still managed to celebrate life and cultivate love in all she met.
