Only What You Give

“Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received…but only what you have given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice, and courage.” – St. Francis of Assis (via Sojourners Magazine)

Lately, I’ve been really consumed with things. I guess that’s an easy thing to do. But this was a good reminder. The stuff doesn’t matter. It’s the heart that I live with. One focused on what I can give and impart to others.

My focus needs to shift from to things to giving. Does your focus need shifting?
