Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. I didn't really celebrate (just like I'm not really observing Lent). It's sad, because as a nanny I took every opportunity to observe these "small" holidays - primarily because they provide such a rich opportunity to share the gospel. We would have green cupcakes and Irish Soda Bread, but we would also talk about Patrick and his willingness to share the gospel with people who had imprisoned me.
It amazes me how "busy" I suddenly become in the "grown up" world that I let these opportunities come and go. Yet, these opportunities come around every year - do we seek them out and make the best of them with the opportunity they provide for the gospel?
As a daily matter, are we in tune with how God's at work in our lives so that we can share when asked?
Or are we too busy? Is our focus on the gospel and taking every opportunity to share it with those around us - friend, family, or someone working at the store - or are we absorbed in our own wants and needs?
