How can you uniquely reflect the love of God today?
This is a challenging question because I have mentioned before how we are to reflect the love and light of God into the world around us. While we do this in many ways the question is, how do I do this uniquely? What can I do that somebody else can't do? What can I do the reflects the love of God but also have a hint of my unique personality? Perhaps the best way I can uniquely reflect God's love is through the silly side of me that does not always come out. This afternoon I had the pleasure of walking around Boston with Lauren and Alec, and when we came upon the Make Way for Ducklings statues in the Boston Public Garden we proceeded to take silly pictures. It is in those silly moments when I let down my guard, open myself up, and let my inner silliness shine forth. It is in those moments I can see the silly side of God, the playful side that we sometimes forget about. What makes it even better is being able to share it with two people whom I love. Being silly is how I am unique and I need to work on allowing that silliness to come forth more often.
Lord, help me to let go, to not take everything so seriously, to allow my playful and silly side shine forth for those around me and not just those whom I am comfortable around, so that I can not only be the person you created but also to let others see your playful and silly side. Amen.
