Being anonymous is something to ponder at this particular time of year. I have been hearing stories lately about people doing nice things for others and paying off layaways and giving generously to charities. Being anonymous is an idea that is biblical. Jesus told his disciples to give freely and do not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. This means, it is not about you or about receiving recognition but rather assuring that others have what they need and want and love.
Sometimes life feels like you are living in a fishbowl. Everyone can always see what you are doing. But I migh observe that we ought to be more concerned with what we are feeling, understanding that other people can also see that! In particular, what we are feeling about ourselves or about those around us or our jobs. We represent ourselves through our feelings and so it is good to check in on that occassionally and see what our image shows to others about us.
I enjoy my social media outlets, but I feel the need to be out of the public eye more and so I will be leaving facebook soon.
