Why only read the emails that are fun?

Sam Horn’s recent post on LinkedIn last week.

 

We’ve heard the phrase, God wastes nothing. What does that mean exactly?

For starters it means everything that happens – good or not so good – is meant to help us:

  • Grow
  • Learn

Whether we grow or learn is 100% our responsibility.

Bad things happen to everyone.

No one likes reading an overflowing inbox. And add to that having to deal with tough emails that are difficult, time consuming, or tragic. Good grief Charlie Brown.

Every single thing that happens to us can teach us or grow us.

But if we looked at it that way, we’d have nothing to complain about.

God wastes nothing.

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.

These five daily posts are always real life in real time.

Left the house this morning before writing a single blog post. Why? A 7:15am Quest Diagnostics appointment for annual blood work. Slept in until 6:15am to get eight hours sleep. Little time to do much except have a cup of hot water and get ready to leave for the appointment.

Writing now, while most people still haven’t started work yet.

When a confident, self-assured person takes it to a new level, things get worse for unhappy people. But for grateful happy people, it gets better for them. Yesterday’s standing ovation from the first post Disney speech was an incredible, unexpected gift on multiple levels.

Saying that to tell you this. While having an genuine conversation during the blood draw, the phlebotomist shared that her 32-year old daughter and 33-year old son-in-law left their three children at home and went out to celebrate Mother’s Day in 2006. Because of a drunk driver, they never returned home.

My response? A gasp, an unbearable weight, and a few tears. A solemn reminder that the value of a single day rarely reveals itself.

She is thankful for her three grandchildren, the oldest a United States Marine.

We come to know the true meaning of our birth when we learn to celebrate it everyday. All day.

Does God provide for all our needs?

Does God provide for all our needs? Common sense tells us that we believe what we want to believe. So, your answer depends on your beliefs. It’s that simple.

Last week there was no graphic designer, and no contract. This week both materialized.

Sure, it took six years – about as long as we thought.

We both knew it wouldn’t happen until retirement from Disney, even though the business was incorporated six years earlier.
