I like the phrase, “pouring into people;” as it illustrates the giving of something I possess; a listening ear, prayer for and with people, a kind or encouraging word, all of which allow me the giver, to give a gift that will fill the one who receives.

When I hit the first snooze in my groggy, “I don’t want to go to work” state, I usually reach out to God and note my gratitude for another day while opening myself to the lessons He has for me.

After enough years of trying to conquer the course of life with my own strength, I’ve learned to cry out to God for that daily bread.
