Question #5: How am I called to Heal the World?

How am I going to use my gifts in my world?

What in my neighbourhood is there that I can work at to improve the quality of life for all beings?

How can I get support to continue the energy to help others?

How can I bring my gifts to the world, my congregation, and my life?

"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress." - Barack Obama

All religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual toward freedom." - Albert Einstein

"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet wiht a success unexpected in common hours." - Henry David Thoreau

"For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven;
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time for war, and a time for peace."

- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
