A minute just for you - because you care for others.
This Week: Each Day A Vote
Today, Americans vote for their next president.  Essentially, they have two choices - John McCain or Barack Obama.
 
They say it's best to stay away from discussing politics if possible.  I suppose I'm safe here because this issue isn't about politics.  It's about choice.
 
You see, every morning when we wake up, we are faced with choices.  We make thousands of them every single day.  Many are insignificant (what shirt to wear, which way to go to work, and so on).  But some choices are more significant (what attitude to adopt, how to view negative feedback, and so on.)
 
Among the many choices we face, few are more important than the choice to persevere
 
QUESTION:
 
In your service to other people, what keeps you going?
 
 
Next Steps:
  • Take out a piece of paper and list out those things/people that drain you;
  • Then list those things/people that energize you;
  • In reverence, lay before God your drainers as well as your energizers and pray the "Serenity Prayer".
 
UPDATE...
If you accepted last week's challenge to spend 30 minutes in silence at the beginning or end of your day for 12 days,
Email me after you're done - what did you learn about yourself, others, and God?
