Matthew Allen’s Post

As parents, it's easy to get caught up in trying to get rich and please others, but let's not wear ourselves out chasing what is fleeting. 👨👩👧👦 The time we spend with our family is what truly matters.

TIME RESURRECTED We are a limited amount of time. That is how completely our limited time defines us.* Oliver Burkeman Man and society are resurrected every moment in the act of hope and faith in the here and now; every act of love, of awareness, of compassion is resurrection; every act of sloth, of greed, of selfishness is death.** Erich Fromm Moments of faith and love are the best of all for bringing time back to life – That is, for bringing us back to life; Through serving others, We are learning to live to the  fullness of our being and our becoming – Perhaps even resurrected to some higher state: It is a constant effort and hard work – and inexplicably life-affirming – to honour who you are, what you believe, and why you are here.^ *Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks; **Erich Fromm’s The Revolution of Hope; ^Elle Luna’s The Crossroads of Should and Must.

Where it all began... Hands & Feet Project was imagined by Christian rock band, Audio Adrenaline in September of 2003. They wanted to use their platform for something big. Inspired by their song "Hands & Feet", Hands and Feet Project began as a children's village in 2004 near Jacmel, Haiti but has now grown to serve multiple regions within the country. Our mission is to be the hands and feet of Christ fighting for the cause of vulnerable children, their families, and their communities. The foundation of our organization is based on these 4 core values. 🤎 Love: Love and support each other within our Hands & Feet Project community with genuine humility, depth, and purpose. Philippians 2:3-4 🤎 Honesty: Live a life that is grounded in truth, transparency, and authenticity to God, to each other, and to ourselves. Ephesians 4:15 🤎 Obedience: Remain obedient and steadfast in the work each of us is called to with courage, determination, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Hebrews 13:20-21 & Colossians 3:23 🤎 Responsibility: Be responsible and conscientious stewards of all the resources entrusted to us. Value and show regard for each other's time, talent, treasure, and testimony. 1 Peter 4:10 Get involved by tapping on the link below. https://lnkd.in/gbKwwP7Y

We need to ask ourselves: "What does God really want from us?" We’re NOT just “Sinners saved by Grace.” We’re God’s HOME, His dwelling place. So, let’s stop forgetting that and start living like we truly know who we are in Him. 🙏🏻💙 - 📲 Watch more inspiring clips at: https://lnkd.in/gJa7zcdR
