It's 3 AM, and you're still scrolling. Your thumb moves mechanically while your eyes glaze over. Another video, another post, another fleeting moment of connection. Sound familiar?

A couple of years ago, I dropped my favorite Christmas coffee mug.

You know the one - that perfect mug that made every morning feel a little more festive, that had survived countless holiday seasons, and somehow made even gas station coffee taste like a Christmas miracle.

As Pastor Doug pointed out on Sunday, we have a limited amount of time with our children. So, how do we make the most of the small amount of time we have? How do we write the words of Jesus on their hearts? How do we best use our time with them to lead and guide them in the direction of Jesus?

God’s greatest desire is to be reconciled to His creation…ALL of His creation. This includes your enemies. This includes every person that disagrees with you. This includes every person who has wronged or hurt you. He desires a relationship with all of them whether you think they deserve it or not.

I believe that God has called each of us to the work that we do, whether it is in an office or in our home. It is really easy to approach our work in a selfish manner. Our job can become all about us and what we want to get out of it. Maybe it’s a paycheck. Maybe it’s a promotion. Maybe it’s a bigger house or a better car. Rarely do we approach our job as a place where God wants to interact with and through us to bring His kingdom to earth, but I believe that is exactly what He wants to do.
