What posesses you? 

Freely you have received, freely give! Matthew 10:8b
 
As I sit outside gazing into the beautiful sunshine and the expanse of the world beyond, I am struck by the fact that all of this is free a gift from God that we cannot take with us. And when we come to God with humble hearts we realise fully and deeply that nothing we own or do is really truly our own. We are called to be creative beings and all that we have and all that we are can, and should, reflect the glory of that sunset. So, this week as you go about your business, or maybe enjoy the last throes of a holiday, celebrate the fact that all you have and all you are is freely given - so freely give.

Be Blessed!

Helen
