I think giving means different things to different people. Giving involves more than just our money. It is also giving of ourselves, our time, our gifts. Does that change the context of giving?I have more time, gifts, and self at my disposal than I do money. And I love to give. I'm getting better at it again. Sometimes you have to let go of some stuff before you can give things away. Complicated. Yet so simple.
Last year, my blog was fairly quiet, there wasn't a lot of giving going on. Not a lot of overflow. But I'm ready again.
I'm excited about a brand new year. I wonder about the adventures that are in store, the plans that God has. The people He will put on my path. The paths we will wander together, and yet also the ones I will explore on my own.
A year, to me, is like a wonderful field covered with snow. A clean slate. No footprints. Does it make you want to tiptoe around the edges and not cover the landscape with marks? Or does it make you want to charge out of the gate and make snow angels?
I wonder what the field of this past year would like? Covered with tracks I'm sure....lots of loops to retrace steps for "do-overs"...but always two sets of footprints beside each other, because I never walked alone.
