A while back I stumbled across a blog by Rev Thom, and every now and again I flick across to it and read his sermons. On August 13, he wrote a sermon called "Grounded in Purpose" where he talks about living our lives "a middle way, a response not grounded in reaction but grounded in purposeful living: The response of continuing to live meaningfully. The doing of what needs to be done."
He finishes the sermon with this...
"Let’s keep changing lives with our welcome. Let’s keep changing minds with our good news. Let’s keep changing hearts with our acceptance and our love. Let’s keep changing our community and our world one minute at a time, one day at a time, one new face at a time.Here we are very clear. You do not need to be afraid to be who you are! You do not need to be ashamed to love who you love! Do not be afraid to be who you are! Do not be ashamed to live beautifully upon this earth. We are glad you are here. We are glad you are here. We are glad you are here. We are glad you are here."
Living with intention is a new concept to me, although unconsciously I've always lived my life this way. Now I'm doing it with purpose and intention... and it seems a more powerful way to be!
