What is the adventure in being ordinary?

It is daring to love just for the pleasure of giving it away. It is venturing new life and to nurture it to maturity. It is working hard for the pure joy of being tired at the end of the day. It is caring and sharing and giving and loving because we trust our ordinary lives in the hands of an extraordinary God.

While it takes courage to achieve greatness, it takes more courage to find fulfillment in being ordinary.
