Love Does

I have a couple stories drafted about Bob Goff and his book called "Love Does." But a lot of times my writing is actually just rambling that makes sense to me and not many others on the planet. So until I have time to sort out my thoughts and make them a bit more coherent, let's just read Bob Goff's words. They are much better than mine anyway!

"There is only one invitation it would kill me to refuse, yet I'm tempted to turn it down all the time. I get the invitation every morning when I wake up to actually live a life of complete engagement, a life of whimsy, a life where love does. It doesn't come in an envelope. It's ushered in by a sunrise, the sound of a bird, or the smell of coffee drifting lazily from the kitchen. It's the invitation to actually live, to fully participate in this amazing life for one more day. Nobody turns down an invitation to the White House, but I've seen plenty of people turn down an invitation to fully live. 

Turning down this invitation comes in lots of flavors. It looks like numbing yourself or distracting yourself or seeing something really beautiful as just normal. It can also look like refusing to forgive or not being grateful or getting wrapped around the axle with fear or envy. I think every day God sends us an invitation to live and sometimes we forget to show up or get headfaked into thinking we haven't really been invited. But you see, we have been invited, every day, all over again."

Incredibly thankful today for friends, adventure, laughter, blue skies, and a giant world with much to offer.
