I was wondering how we can all make a difference...Just do it in your family and with your close friends especially in covid times..Paying it forward to one person is like a snowball going down a hill picking up steam and getting bigger all the time! Jesus started with 12 friends and followers!
It sounds like a cliche but it means more now then ever. We are all in this together..
Thanks for coming up to Peterborough Diana.it was great meeting you and your " cottage blog means more now then ever.
Thank you for your thoughtful and reorienting perspective on our interactions with others. I appreciate the clarity and hope to share it in calling folks to make their own journey toward giving without expectation of return.
It hails back to the very words of Jesus. Oh how long! We oft’ circle the same ruts in an arid wilderness to arrive ‘round again at the Word we didn’t first trust.
Thank you, Diana. I woke up this morning and read this thinking you must have seen part of my wakeful dreaming...God has spoken to you, me and others; are we listening? Will we take action to be grateful for being able to just give for giving. I appreciate the quote from Wendell Berry "Every day you have less reason not to give yourself away."
My hands are on the plough and I'm not looking back.
Really like your ideas yet feel compelled to say that type of world although we certainly should strive for it here on earth will exist only in heaven. Very well said especially "quid pro woe". More of pro bono and less of the other is how a true Christian should live.
What a beautiful illustration of the difference between good and evil! As much as I dislike Donald Trump, my intuitive sense is that his overt antics are actually serving a great purpose. It is one thing to know about the dangers of narcissism, and it is another to have it blatantly paraded in front of our eyes in a position of power. The contrast between his behavior and integrity is so dramatic that the consciousness of humanity is being rattled and shaken. Can this display of evil serve to draw people to what is inherently good deep within our souls? If so, than he is an agent for transformation.

Good read.
What roll do you see the "worship" of the Greenback God (one example is the prosperity gospel) playing in this corroding and corrupting situation?
Can't help seeing, in my mind's eye, the rich man/camel saying.

With gratitude for you and your ministry.
