There are times when people come to us and end up interrupting something we were already doing. 

Like when our kids need help filling up their water bottles.

Or when a dear friend is having an especially tough day and just needs to be with someone.

Or when a family member calls and needs to figure out how to handle a situation they’re in.

How would you respond in these situations?

I think there are a lot of times I used to resent being interrupted. It distracted me from getting things done or it got in the way of my own quiet time. But thankfully, God has been changing my heart in that.

And that’s why today, I want to talk about offering the gift of your presence, especially over the holiday season. And specifically, doing this by being interruptible. 

We’ll talk about what being interruptible means, three signs that indicate if you are interruptible or not, and some of the challenges of being fully present.
