“When you eat your breakfast cereal you think about the workers who made it…” So it was said of those with the Strength-finders theme of connectedness. And my husband laughed, because he has eaten many breakfasts with me.
Like a hub with spokes in all directions, we reach out to connect through:
- Words– Hoping the words I type connect me with you.
- Sharing stories– that connect our hearts and remind us we are not alone, our voices matter.
- Children– who connect us to the here and now and responsibilities. And connect us to dreams that lie ahead.
- Prayers– that connect us to the one who made us and knows us and loves us.
- Serving– connecting us to a world beyond our doors.
Not without fear. But with courage we send our spokes out. Looking for a place to acknowledge this desire for connection that has sweetly been placed in us. And how beautiful the ride when we do.
Happy Friday! I’m participating in Five Minute Friday.
We are given a prompt- this week was Here. Five minutes to write. No editing and second guessing. Then you encourage the person before you.

Beautiful ride indeed!!
Thankful that He has connected us 🙂
Please tell me more about the Strength Finders test?
I’m thankful to that He has connected us- maybe we should connect soon through coffee?
I first did Strength Finders when we went through a church planters assessment. It list your top five (?) strengths/themes. I have the book- when I get back to PA I will pass it along. It think you would like it.
