Winning and Losing

If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that is a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life.

The Prayer of Jabez

Dear Father,

I desire to be the most honourable person in Your kingdom, fit for the Master's use.

Today I pray that You would bless me indeed;
and enlarge my territory, my influence and my opportunities;
that Your hand would be with me, leading and guiding my thoughts and decisions;
that You would keep me, my family and my interests from evil.

Lord, may You cause me to bring blessings, joy and comfort to all that I come in contact with today.

In Jesus' Name, Amen

(2 Chron 4:10)
My own paraphrased version 2008

What is a juggler?

One person in my facebook sphere called herself a juggler. Now what exactly is a juggler? I looked the word up and found this:

jug·gler - ˈdʒʌglər'/ [juhg-ler] –noun

1. a person who performs juggling feats, as with balls or knives.
2. a person who deceives by trickery; trickster; one that uses tricks, deception, or fraud.

So for simplicity sake, just know that when a person says he or she is a juggler, it can mean more than just one who perform juggling feats.

Love is Bestowed...

Love is always bestowed as a gift-- freely, willingly, and without expectation...We don't love to be loved; we love to love.

- Leo Buscaglia

To Serve People...

"To serve people takes dignity and intelligence. But remember, they are only people with money. And although we serve them, we are not their servants. What we do, Miss Ventura, does not define who we are. What defines us is how well we rise after falling."

Lionel
Character from the Movie - Maid in Manhattan

What is Power?

Power is acknowledging our weaknesses and accepting our limitations as loving reminders to enter into Christ's strength.

"... For the joy of the Lord is your strength."
(Nehemiah 8:10)

"...[God's] strength is made perfect in weakness..."
(2 Cor 12:9)
