A.Einstein said, "try NOT to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of VALUE." -
hmmm?
wondering how this applies to the role of a DAD
&or a Husband -
or a Son or a friend or as a pastor?
wondering how many ways this applies to the local church ?
How do I add VALUE to my Friends?
family?
Church?
those are the EASY questions?
I know I have NOT always done it - but I was taught that one should leave the JOB - the HOUSE - the WORLD ... a lil' bit better than it was when I got there -
having NOT always succeeded in this - it has become a continual quest of mine moving forward...
what if we all tried to leave the world a lil' better than we found it ...
what if we tried to leave the waiter or waitress a lil' happier than they were when we stepped into their very difficult - over worked &under valued world ...
(& that is so much easier when we find them having a bad day... don't return evil with evil - if she was having a bad day ... try to leave her a better tip than you feel she deserved)
what if we worked at leaving our City ... in better shape than we found it ...
our homes...
our families...
each conversation ...
I wonder if our success's would feel sweeter if ...
we endeavored to add value to others???
