I think the invitation is really for those who were passing out the invitations! :-) Some of the work I do has to do with researching outcomes - everybody wants an outcome (the number of guests who attended would be the expected outcome in this story) - our world wants an outcome - but Jesus wants us to interact with Him joyfully and maybe - let go of the outcome? Relinquish the need to find our identity in the outcomes we (think we) produce but rather find ourselves in the joy of "passing out the invitations"...just meditating out loud here :-) We often think of 'work' as something that is not particularly joy-filled. I am much more joyful when I look at my work as Maria Montessori viewed the "work" or education of a child. She believed that "the child's 'work' is to play" - my work (passing out invitations) is an opportunity to "play" with Jesus...the outcome is a change in me. I'll let Jesus handle the measurable outcomes the world wants :-)Sharon MacKinnonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655564435969001817.post-52583013735970921352013-06-13T13:14:34.729-04:002013-06-13T13:14:34.729-04:00This is very much where I was at this morning.

However, there are still those times when we can't seem to explain why something didn't work out, and yet it feels like our fault anyway. I look forward to where you go next with these considerations.
