child of god

With it being Labor Day weekend and all Mary Beth's sermon was based on how we identify ourselves by vocation or all the many other roles we take on.  Sister, mother, brother, friend to name a few.  God appeared to his disciples to deliver the great commandment which was pretty much like "Okay, now that you know it's me, go forth and make disciples of the world."  And always remember who you are first and foremost.  His child.  A gift from God to the world.

Lauren came solo today to celebrate my birthday with a cow card and some candles.  We had the rare chance to visit in the quiet that is just mother daughter time and it was a joy.  Reaves went swimming at the lake with her Daddy and Mama Kim.  It looks like fun was had by all!  I remember chanting to she and her friends every time they left here as teenagers "Remember who you are."  Sometimes we get lost and do stupid stuff but knowing your own soul and having the conviction to do the right thing go hand in hand.

Just don't be mean to kids and old people and furbabies or anybody else for that matter.  Mean is not a good role model for those looking to believe in something bigger and better than what we have.  It's all about unconditional love ^j^
