What defines you?

I have been pondering this question, and several others for the past few months. Recent circumstances have put many things in to perspective for me...and for Rich. And while taking inventory, I have become truly free in the knowledge that it's not in my house or material things I (we) have accumulated. It's not in our finances (thank God) or the car I drive. It's not even in having the perfect spouse. Don't get me wrong, I should look in the mirror before I leave the house to double check what I am wearing...or is it who I am wearing? (no, not the brand name). I don't have to wear anyone else's garbage. Heck, I don't even have to wear my own (THANKS TO JESUS!) And for that revelation I am so thankful : )
One of the greatest things I have learned to ask myself is: "how do people feel when I leave their presence?" (Sherry Rose Shepard) That alone has the power to change the course of your whole day! And what about this? "DID I LOVE WELL TODAY?" I dare you to ask yourself these two things over the next week and see if it doesn't change your life at all.
I know we've been missing in action (in the blog world anyway). We've just been busy finding our way...and our purpose. Funny....that we all have one! Do you know yours?
Love the Lenarth family....
