I have a granddaughter, Gabie, who is away at college. I send her packages and cards on a regular basis as well as talk with her by email and phone. I do this to stay connected to her, inspire her, work to keep her heart turned towards Jesus and look for ways to help her reach out beyond herself.
For Valentine's Day I sent her a three pound chocolate heart. The shipping cost me more than the heart.
I chose this vehicle because I knew it was bigger than she was and she would have more than enough. Just as I hoped I received a phone call. "Grandma, I got your present today. Where did you find it? I could never eat all this myself. I will probably be able to share it with my entire floor."
Mission accomplished.
Just think in life we have so many opportunities to connect with people, inspire them in some way big or small, look for ways to move their hearts toward Jesus and even help them reach out beyond themselves.
Not too long ago I visited a pregnancy center that asked the women to return the baby things that they were finished with. They would then reward them with some different products or needs. This allowed them to reconnect with the women and inspire them to think beyond themselves.
May God give you a freshness as you think about this concept in your own life, for your family and friends and those God has called you to.
