Are you in the picture or only in the Shadows...


Shadows...

This is a favorite view and when I saw the picture, I noticed the shadow of myself as I took the picture.  The older I get, the more I realize it takes effort and determination to be IN the picture instead of in the shadows only.  I don't like some of the progression of life, so it is easy to avoid becoming involved.  Avoidance is the easy way out.

I work on this every day.  My challenge is to step out of my comfort zone and actually be involved in someone else's life.  The challenge with my children is to find the right balance between caring concern and interference.  Ever found yourself looking into the eyes of your child as you try to fix their situation and they are looking back at you with a look that says, "stop"?

Step out of the shadows at some point this week.  Seek out someone who needs your particular touch or talent in their life.  God isn't finished with us until we are sitting beside Him in Heaven.

Proverbs 3:5-6
