If you missed Sunday’s birthday celebration, you need to go back and enjoy it on Facebook or YouTube! We had an amazing time celebrating all that God has done in and through 5twelve these past three years. Part of me thinks, “Wow, it’s hard to believe it’s been 3 years!” Another part of me thinks, “Wow, it feels like much longer than 3 years!” Time has been very… wonky… these past couple of years. But that’s a blog for another day.
Sunday morning, Jurie talked about the Gift Jesus is and was for us, as well as the gift we are to the world. Now, he didn’t tell us to go out and “act like we’re God’s gift to humanity,” in the pejorative sense. Rather, he emphasized the act of shining (glowing) with God’s light and love for the people around us.
A couple of years ago, we had a series called “Can You Relate,” where we explored the roles we have in relationships with those around us. I wrote a post called “Be the Gift You Are,” and I think what I said there is as timely now as it was then. Check it out here!
