Your life is your story, and both were meant to be shared.
President Theodore Roosevelt is credited with saying, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." We might add to that another quote, "caring is sharing." If you agree those are true than the first step for us in any relationship, any project, any life is sharing. In sharing we give ourselves to one another, we let others see how we see the world and we open ourselves up to seeing life through the eyes of our neighbors. In sharing, we are brought together, and where we are brought together, God is seen more clearly. Your story, God's story, THE Story always begins with sharing.

2019-2020 is a Year of Sharing at Advent as we explore lots of ways God can use the things that fill our own life-stories day-by-day to make life better together. And we'll be using a bucket throughout the year in every home to remind us to Share...by the Bucketful!
In this first month of the school year we're starting with a simple Fall Bucket List created by clipping clothespins with the things we want to make sure to do this Fall. Write the activity on a clothespin, clip it to the top of your bucket, and when you do the activity take it off and toss it into the bucket. Oh, and one more thing, in order to focus on Sharing Life by the Bucketful, see how many of those activities you can invite someone to join you in doing with you. Life is better when we share it together. Let's Share Life by the Bucketful! Use the Response Form to tell us your stories of Sharing Life by the Bucketful! |
