A Gift of Love: Discernment and Decision

I am always amazed when I hear stories of sacrifice—whether it is a parent who works three jobs to take care of their children, or soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for our country, or Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world. I find myself in their shadow feeling a sense of responsibility. What are we called to do as people who have benefitted from the sacrifices of so many? We are called to make sacrifices too—sometimes big and sometimes smaller. We have tons of seemingly insignificant decisions that we make everyday, and the small things count. In everything, give your life to God, and give of yourself for the good of others.
