Is your life defined by SUCCESS or SIGNIFICANCE?

Fun projects together!
December is a month when I tend to reflect on things. I look at all I have in my life and wonder if that’s the true definition of Success. I’m pretty lucky, so most of the time it is. In church last week, the minister talked about how we define Success for our own lives, and then he took it a step further. He asked if, along with living a successful life, we were also living a significant life! That was something I hadn’t thought of before – the need to have both success and significance in our lives. I know that December is a challenging time for families that are separated by military deployments, and it’s hard to see the positive side of that. How can you make it easier on you and your family? Together, try doing something significant this season for someone else – something that helps someone else from which you expect nothing in return. If you do it with your kids, you help teach them what a difference they can make in another’s life. Try organizing a toy drive, volunteering to serve supper at a homeless shelter, making a banner togther to send overseas or throwing a party through your FRG for community families needing a bit of cheer. The possibilities are endless. I’d love to hear some of what you come up with to do. Email me at Elaine@ImAlreadyhome.com and we’ll compile the ideas to spark other acts of kindness in the future. By doing this you’ll see that SUCCESS + SIGNIFICANCE = LIFE! Happy Holidays from all of us here at I’m Already Home.
