The Circle

This weekend I am performing a wedding for an extra-ordinary young couple in Avon, Colorado. Aside from the breathtaking views, timeless architecture, and genuinely kind people, my heart has been transformed by the influence of this couple's Circle! I have learned from those who love them the imperative of demonstrating love through word and deed. This is what makes our Circles so valuable; to have people who give of themselves to enhance your life-journey. The key is giving!

My circle has given me love, time, wisdom, encouragement, and so much more. How about yours? The Circle has to include those who will speak the truth in love, no matter what! We desperately need that resource in every aspect of our lives.

So, I've been challenged to appreciate my Circle even more, while taking an inventory of those who claim to BE in my Circle!

Take some time today to cherish those who have invested in your life-journey. The Circle....

  1. Funny how God has a way of speaking a word into your heart regardless at the time that it is needed. I just read your blog and I have been pondering the exact same thought this weekend. I am taking an inventory of the people who claim to BE in my circle and do the necessary Spring/Summer cleaning of those people who are not in my circle for the right reasons. Thanks for sharing "PB" and I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Colorado.

  2. brown,

    this is an awesome life-lesson! the significance of love and loyalty, giving and grace in relationships is often overlooked or simply devalued.

    everytime i see pictures of you and nicole, and now nicolas, i am inwardly, deeply moved knowing this season in your life is a true blessing from God! it makes everything else worthwhile.

    i am so happy for you guys and the journey God has entrusted you with.

    thank you for being a friend, thru the years!
