When I see my life as a gift from God then making my life about giving and sharing makes complete sense.
The last paragraph begins with "Today" - that startled me. My mind went to "what about the past?!" That word "today" jolted me into the present.
I accept the challenge of 'being' a blessing to those my path touches today. I love living (striving anyway) the normal Orthodox life.
St. Anthony of the Desert said every morning "Today I will begin." This is the wise path of repentance.
