One of the things I have a hard time doing is keeping a
journal.
This year my daughter gave me a five year journal that asks
a question a day throughout the year, for five years. To start off each New
Year, the question is “What is your mission?”
What is my mission? What plans did God have for me as I came
to earth? What do we expect from me? I never wanted to be a great inventor, or
orator. President? Me? NO!
My husband is a scientist. He loves seeing how things work,
and tweaking them for the benefit of mankind.
My mother was a landscape architect. Her mission was to
beautify the earth where she lived.
My daughter’s mission is to make people happy and feel loved
and appreciated. She has always been good in schools and the retail market,
helping others. But me? I don’t know.
All I ever wanted to do is be Suzy Homemaker. I wanted to have six children; to cook
wonderful meals; make their clothes; be a spiritual guide.
I remember sitting in an art class one summer talking to a
fellow student about my late first husband who had recently passed on. “What’s
the point of finding your dream, and then having it snatched rudely and
painfully away from you?” After listening to my story he told me I was a
comforter. I was put here to help those around me who are in need.
In Matt 25:35-40
We read
35 For
I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I
was a stranger, and ye took me in:
37 Then
shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and
fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
40 And the King shall answer
and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have
done it unto me.
And I sit in front of the fire stroking the cat on a cold
wintry day.
And I take meals in to people in need.
And I make quilts. The ultimate comforter
And I smile.
I have found my mission.
What is your mission this year
?
