Thankful Thursday 9-29-2022
Warmth
Thankful Thursday sees my head shaking in wonder at the fact that October is only days away! The weather certainly has moved in the expected direction of fall. This weather change dusts off memories of cool evenings with layered clothing gathered around the campfire.
The cooler weather quickens our steps. Groups often come together toward a point of warmth. When gathering and connection with a person grounded in a Christ centered heart, the time and experience brings warmth to you and your heart.
It is a gift to be on the receiving end of an interaction with a Christ-centered person. And it is a gift to BE a Christ-centered person gifting your focus and attention on the person or people directly in your presence. Put the phone away. Fully engage in the conversation by listening to another’s words, watching the expressions that cross their face as they share, and observing the way they hold their bodies. Celebrate their openness to sharing and build the warmth of friendship rooted in Christ.
Blessings!
