Authentic: 4 -My Contribution

 


It’s kind of funny because my first thought about my contribution to my friends and family was sarcasm and a tolerance for profanity.  Which both are is totally true. As I have gotten older, my sarcasm has lessoned mostly because there is a lot of passive aggressiveness in sarcasm and I have worked to address things head on, and mostly not right away.  As for a tolerance for profanity, that hasn’t wavered one bit.

As I think about how I have contributed to my friends and family, I am not sure of the answer because you’d probably have to ask them.  My hope is that I contribute love and support. 

I hope that each one of my friends knows they are loved and appreciated not for what they do but for who they are. I hope I bring them support to their dreams with encouragement and, when I can, financially. I hope they know and feel to their core that they are loved! Every day no matter what.

I don’t have a friend that I haven’t prayed for.  I pray for so many different aspects of their lives.  Lately my prayers has been peace and provision.  This is a scary time in all our lives, so much unexpected turns around every corner.  Sometimes provision looks monetary, and sometimes it’s a provision for grace and mercy.   I pray that God provide their dreams, and a dream come true.

I also hope I bring some humor to their lives.  Even though I am someone who gets things done, I am funny!  I am not stand up comic funny but honestly most of my humor comes from the fact that I don’t hold back what needs to be said.  Though I have been warned that I shouldn’t be so straight forward.

Love, laughter, and encouragement.  And a tolerance for profanity because some days just any old F word will do…
