pffft...

spent...yet joy-filled

It's not about the gifts, toys, presents, time, energy, effort, strength, dirt, injuries, blood...

It's about the intangibles...
A change in mindset & perspective,
the ability to look beyond the immediate & instant,
the trust and faith that little things make a BIG difference,
a prayer for the receiver,
a heart for others.

The war for hearts and minds,
is always a long slide downhill...
since human nature drifts towards the comfortable, easy, lovely, fun...
but it is a battle worth fighting,
and if Jesus could see that in a rag tag 12,
then we should not give up too easily
Persevere beloved ones...
May your life be His too
