How am I known?



How am I known?  What do others see when they look at my life?  


Do they see a woman in love with life?  Someone willing to serve those I love...  laying down my life for Him?  Does joy and love flow from me and touch my husband and children?  Does it reach those I come in contact with daily?   

When little ones run up, do they see a smile on my lips?  Do they see love in my eyes?  Do they know gentleness in my touch? Are words of kindness on my tongue?  


How am I known?


Or do they sadly question? Do they stand in frustration because of me? Do they question what or whom I am serving... do they wonder what I love... do they wonder where my joy is? 

What do they see when they look in my eyes?


How am I known?  What do those I love see when they look at my life?


Can they see Him?  Can they see His love... His life poured out through me for them?  
Do I have a heart of gratitude that radiates from my face, my heart?  Do they know how much I love and appreciate them?

Is my life full of thanksgiving?

Is my life a reflection of Him?

Thou will shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.  Psalm 16:11


Thank you, Father...  You are good.

  2. Oh my - that was a challenging, lovely post! I often think these things when I am with my friends who don't know the Lord - how much do they really see of Christ in me?

    I had your blog bookmarked from yonks ago and just found you again. I have enjoyed stopping in.
    God Bless!

  3. Beautifully and gracefully written, Carrie. I love who you are... your life, what I know of you so far, speaks of who he is. Makes me think... I hope I can say the same for myself.
