Hello, Treasure ❤️
Time Talent Treasure These are the three things we can be giving as a way to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Time is priceless. We hoard it without knowing, we waste it without knowing and it’s not renewable. We lash out when we think someone is taking too long, but we don’t always offer any to a person who needs just a piece of it. Thirty minutes at a homeless camp is so valuable that a price can’t be put on it. An hour at a nursing home is worth ten years of no visitors, and yet we think that hour should be spent elsewhere. Be the ministry of presence.

The Swimming Pool
Clementine watched the sun swaying like a drunken dancer from the bottom of her parents' swimming pool. It was July: the slow, gold-colored time when the heat felt mean spirited, and the air felt thick with possibility. If she focused, she could hear the neighbor mowing his lawn. She could hear the drone of the cicadas and cars passing her parent's house on Magnolia Avenue, lent an almost otherworldly quality by the chlorinated water filling her ears. Clementine checked her watch. Seven minutes. She should have lost consciousness by now.
