Family Reflection Video: We are Servants and Partners of God

Ever hear the phrase, “What we are is God’s gift and what we become is our gift to God.” It’s a beautiful thought and worth spending some time reflecting on today.

What a privilege! We are called to be God’s servants because everything we are and have are his! And how humbling … God asks us to be his partners to continue his work here on earth!

Saint Teresa of Calcutta is a very recognizable example but you and I are also called to do the same every day in our families and communities.

Do you recognize how we are both servants and partners of God? For a meaningful family discussion, ask each member of the family to explain how he/she was God’s servant today. Then ask how he/she was his partner today, spreading the good news of God’s love!

It’s been of privilege of mine to spend some time with you today, dear friends. I keep you and your families in my prayers.
