My Mom and I had this discussion yesterday after leaving Church. There are at least 5 different important ministries going on right now in our parish, and several more in other areas of our lives - work, school, community, etc. It can be frustrating to try to determine which to contribute time and finances to, particularly when you are working hard to control the day-to-day expenses in your own life. What do you give? When do you start? When do you stop?
Logically, I believe that God calls us to contribute time and talents to those opportunities that we feel most passionate about. Trouble is, I feel drawn to all of them, and wish that I had something to donate to each.
In closing the conversation, my Mom and I agreed that we should simply pray about this "dilemma." I wonder how many people of faith around the world carry these questions in their hearts?
