Vocation
What is your vocation?
We all have a vocation—a calling—in life.
The theologian Frederick Buechner once said, “Vocation is where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.”
What do you do uniquely well? Do you bake incredible cookies or bread? Do you build wonderful things out of wood? Do you have a special gift of listening to others so that, even if their problems remain, they feel hope?
Finding your gifts is half of finding your vocation. How can you use those gifts to make a difference in the world today?
That’s the real challenge: to offer your gifts in heartfelt service to those who most need them.
God put us all here for a reason. Finding–and living out—that reason is our life’s mission—our vocation.
