During the past year I have read and learned a lot. I decided as someone who considers himself a writer that I need to write to continue this growth. I am starting this blog by answering the questions presented in the book A Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. For those of you not familiar with the book it is a 40 chapter book with the goal to read one chapter a day. After each day of reading their are some questions to consider.
I plan on posting my response to all 40 questions. I read the book earlier this year then went through it again with my wife. Then over the summer I read it with a small group. I have been thinking about these questions a lot.
Question 1: How can you remind yourself that IT is not about you.
My Answer: Love for my family. When you love you are putting others before yourself. But I must keep in mind that loving someone is not about their behaviour but about my character. Love is more than a feeling. To love someone unconditionally is a choice. I must choose to love no matter how someone acts. As a parent this is easier with my own children. It gets harder with others. But knowing unconditional love is a choice means I can love and show love to everyone. With Gods help I make that choice.
