Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
We watched the new Disney-Pixar movie, UP many months ago. At the time, my son and I for only the second time. My wife, her first.
In the beginning scenes, you see the life of Mr. Frederickson and his wife Ellie.
There is one scene, I knew if I looked over at Cheryl, she’d be looking over at me. Only people changed by infertility would be touched in a profound way during that scene.
The Frederickson’s couldn’t become parents.
Will you go through the motions today, or will you find one hundred things to be thankful for today?
Every day preach the Gospel, and if necessary, try using words.
We all have them, don’t we? Moments that stop us in our tracks. Some, because of remarkable natural beauty. Some because of graphic video images. And some while in the parking lot.
After finishing a track workout at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex last Tuesday, and saying good bye to the new group of local runners I had just met, it was time to head to the car.
Something inside me said, “You should go over and thank her personally, one more time”.
Less than a minute into our casual conversation at the back of her SUV, I asked about some of the decals on the tinted rear window. And then my eyes found the third one, A persons name, and, 1983-1999.
Her 15-year old daughter was the first, in a group of friends, to cross a busy intersection and was struck by a car.
Life seems so unfair sometimes. I was devastated for this woman and her husband, even though it had happened 11 years ago. Do they ever forget? Do they ever forgive? How do they go on with life?
I just don’t know if I could, even though I know I should.
It was Tuesday night. We were just talking.
It’s every where.
Isn’t it?
Do you have the weight of the world on your shoulders?
If you don’t, you will or you did.
And this can often lead us away from God.
So listen carefully, because this is profound:
If you do not feel close to God, guess who moved away?
God will never abandoned you for any reason. Never. Ever.
If you can’t grasp this concept, I believe you are missing the greatest gift ever bestowed to our Spirit and it’s called Unconditional Love.
