In the Spotlight
When I am in a large group I prefer to be in the
background. It's not that I don't want to be involved, but I don't like
the focus of attention to be on me. All of this changed last month when I
went to our motherhouse to celebrate my jubilee. For three days twelve
other sisters and I were the focus of attention as we gathered with family
and friends to celebrate our jubilees.
As I began to read the overflowing abundance of cards and
well-wishes I received I realized that the focus was not so much on me
personally as it was on the witness of 50 years of living a life of
faithfulness and dedication to God, the Giver of all our gifts. What we
were really celebrating was all the good accomplished through us by our
Creator. After that realization I stopped thinking about being in the spotlight
and joined in celebrating with gratitude the presence of God in our lives
during these past years and the many blessings and graces we have each
received.
How can you celebrate the ways God has gifted your life?
