Someone recently asked me to define a “good day”! I told them that was an easy task. Every day I wake up in the morning and can get out of bed and help others is a good day! Therefore, everyday is a good day for me! In fact, when people ask me how I enjoy being a Pastor and Consultant, I tell them; “when you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”! And I LOVE what I do. My website motto is: “Our goal is to facilitate Your Success”! Check it out at: www.agleadershipservices.com.
I feel like the luckiest (most blessed, for my religious friends) man in the world. I have a wonderful wife and children, a wonderful church family, wonderful friends, good health, financial security (as much as someone can have during our recession), and most importantly, a wonderful God I serve. I have purpose in my life every day when I get up in the morning. It doesn’t get much better than this…
It would be easy for me to feel guilty about not blogging for the last number of months. It’s easy to start something, but it takes some sticktuitiveness (that’s a real word!) and perseverance to keep on keepin’ on. And once you’ve “blown it”, doesn’t it seem so very hard to start up again? It’s kind of like dieting (which I’ve been doing all of my life, ugh!!). Once you blow it, it’s soooo hard to not just “pig out” because, well… I blew it, so I might as well REALLY blow it!!! I’m so frustrated and disappointed in myself I owe it to myself to have a really good pity party!
Here’s the good news. His mercy is new and fresh every morning!!! The essence of mercy is “not receiving what we really deserve”! And frankly, without Jesus, I deserve nothing but judgment. Thankfully, every day is a new day and a fresh start. In fact, no matter how many times you fall… to be successful, you just need to get up one more time than you’ve fallen… and you’ll finish the race.
Have you fallen down… Are you really tired and discouraged… Just get up ONE more time… because it’s never too late to start over! Remember, it’s not how you start that matters… It’s how you finish!!! Now, join with me and let’s finish strong!!!
Thanks for your blog, as I was waiting with anticipation these few days without power and internet. It is wonderful to know that you look at each and every day in a positive way. Your glowing countenance and smile are what attract people to you and make them want to be around you. Because you give off this positive energy, people can find that positive energy inside them too… and proudly put it on display,
