As Thanksgiving Day is upon us, a little portion control is helpful to keep from stuffing ourselves on too much dinner; portion control is also helpful for embracing gratitude.
There is more to thanksgiving than feeling grateful; the act of giving thanks requires some attention to our boundaries.
Jesus invites us into a wholehearted life in which we can love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Wholeheartedness is not about doing something that gives you a result; it is about being something that gives you a purpose.
God invites us through Jesus to be wholehearted; the path to wholeness begins by admitting we cannot get there on our own.
What if the greatest commandment to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength is less of a chore to check off our task list, and more of an invitation to be whole?
