Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
How do you measure success?
How often do you measure it?
Do you have a consistent method?
Does it even matter?
What do you do if you are doing poorly, or, really well?
How do you avoid giving up, or, getting complacent?
These are things we all need to figure out.
So last night I asked our son, On a scale of one to ten, how much do you think I love you?
His answer really surprised me.
Blah, blah, blah, How are you?, blah, blah, blah….
Better than I deserve.
Long time friend, fellow pet-lover, former neighbor, prayer warrior, and all-around great person, Teresa, sent this.
It’s how we might consider answering the blah, blah, blah question, “How are you?”
Nelson Mandela’s clan name is Madiba. And so is the style of shirt he commonly wore.
In a busy world, television is one of the things I’ve given up. No time for it after all the more important things get handled.
But last night, with iPad on lap, I casually tuned in and out of the ABC special featuring the FIFA Soccer World Cup from South Africa. I recall Alicia Keys, Desmond Tutu, Madiba, and one other poignant moment.
It’s a moment in history most of us are familiar with, but for some reason, it’s significance really washed over me last night.
Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison and then became President of his Country.
And now, in what should be one of the most joyful moments of his life, is one of the saddest. Heartfelt prayers to Nelson, and to anyone dealing with unbearable pain (which should cover just about everyone).
Will you go through the motions today, or will you find one hundred things to be thankful for today?
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.
