I was struck last evening by something someone said in our small group adult education workshop series using LifeKeys: "I need to find balance in my life." This individual was discovering that they had many more life gifts than they were using in a life dominated by work. They weren't suggesting being less active, rather, redirecting some energy to nurture and grow those gifts that have been neglected in their "day job". To kick back. To have fun. To recenter. To recreate.

That sounds so spiritually uplifting. Discovering, recovering really, a part of you that has been set aside. There's a whole new sub-world out there, and isn't that an exciting proposition? Gifts to share! Surprises!

We discovered in one small group all kinds of hidden gifts. Some were outright delightful surprises that made us laugh. How wonderful God is to give us these gifts, and now to bless us with gifted leaders to help us go "treasure hunting". Thanks be to God, and to Debra and Debbie for leading us.

The absolute best part of this workshop has been gathering together as a group and sharing.

It causes one to pause, and wonder, how much more treasure is "buried" among members and friends of Peace?
