Lessons I Live By 6
The older I get the more I want to keep things focused on what really matters. This fall I am sharing some of the lessons I have learned that help me do that. My hope is that my reflections will encourage you to think about the lessons that matter most to you. Choose to live those lessons and share them with those who look to you for encouragement and inspiration.
The sixth and final lesson I am sharing in this series has to do with self-care. I have learned that self-care makes me a more caring person. My leader, Jesus, regularly went off by himself for prayer and solitude. He needed to renew and recharge so he could return to his life of service.
Taking care of myself is not selfish, it is a necessary part of a healthy and balanced life of discipleship. As I have often heard and believe to be true, I cannot fill others if my cup is empty.
Of course, the lessons I have shared in this series are not the only ones I have learned and am learning. I have been blessed with many good and faithful companions along the way who teach me so graciously and generously—good and faithful companions like you! Let’s be sure to continue to learn together so that we might grow into the full stature of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).
Most sincerely,
Marc
