Love is amazing. There’s hardly a person on Earth that doesn’t have a sincere and fond attraction to animals.
This short video will amaze you and make you smile, because quite simply, these animals demonstrate the power of Motherly Love.
But it is the Leopard that kills a Baboon for food and discovers an orphaned Baboon baby, that will really help us understand love and compassion as a universal truth:
We have teachable moments all the time. Most of them pass by too quickly to be noticed.
A decade ago, I volunteered to become a Church Lector, figuring my new role as a Professional Speaker would add value to the Church.
A year or so into it, we had a formal training class and one of the volunteers got up and made a statement that I’ll never forget.
“You may think you are simply doing a reading, but you are actually proclaiming God’s Holy Word. This may be the only scripture much of our congregation gets all week.”
Rather than judge others, I’ve promised God to do the best with the 60 – 90 seconds He gives me once or twice a month.
At 8:45AM Mass this morning, I hope it’s God’s voice they hear and not mine.
Sunday mornings. A day of rest. Looks good on paper.
Two days ago (Sunday), I caught up to him while he was walking and I was finishing a long run. We both purposefully went out of our way to walk an extra 20 minutes, just so we could talk.
He told me he had just asked God for a sign, moments before I caught up to him. He thinks our walk was it.
Sure hope it helped him as much as he helped me.
As an adult, have you given any consideration to the things you want young people to remember? What if you did simple and easy habits or rituals that would leave an indelible impression on children?
Habits that help teach and shape their young lives and become memories they never forget.
Why? Because this is how we turn the world around.
How? Keep it simple, but profound.
And because your habits and rituals are ridiculously simple to do, and so easy to do, that the only excuse for not doing them is not caring. And how could you not care?
Please consider passing on this concept of care to the next generation. It may be the only hope our planet has.
And it starts with you.
Just replied to a friend’s email, declining an invitation to a men’s group Saturday night get-together.
You know, it’s difficult to say no. What happens when we say no too often?
People stop asking us.
Unless.
Unless?
Yes, unless we have so much passion that it’s no longer ignorable.
I challenged Duane to spend just five minutes reading www.jeffnoel.org
And told him that when our son (9) goes looking for Jesus, he shouldn’t have to look any farther than across the dining room table.
Ya with me?
