We are blessed with the opportunity of a life time. A time to pause, to take a moment away from the insanity we all live in. The hustle and bustle of life when we are at work, school, and play. The time we spend away from family, our loved ones. We have the opportunity now to reconnect, to have those talks we’ve been meaning to have with our children. The opportunity to have dinners together around a table. The opportunity to be together, to fall in love again with our spouse.

Most of all, we have the opportunity to listen; to our spouse, our children, our friends, and God. We have at this moment the opportunity to bring God back into our lives and our hearts. He is there at our feet just below our knees. When we finally realize we need him, that’s when we will begin to heal. When we will begin to heal our hearts, our minds, our souls, our families, and our country.

We have been sick for so long without realizing it. Slowly God has been chiseled out of our lives… and replaced with so many other things. Money… success… sex… work… and selfishness.

In order to grow closer with God we need to grow closer together. To serve another with no thought of our own matters. Serving is an act of love that ignites the fire of God within us.

The ember is still hot as long as we are here on this earth. Ignite your soul with service.
