Elephant Bites ... mmm, yummy

Ok, so this is the next phase of my Leadership Make Over. I am now working on Accountability. I have completed Self-Discipline, Long-Range Planning, and Stewardship. I just finished Stewardship and was reminded that knowledge and people are our truest and greatest assets. Yes, gold, trees, coal and other natural resources are very important. But, when your facing a 13% chance of survival from Breast Cancer like my soul sister Kelly has been ... you want someone to hold your hand not a handful of gold. Or, when you are grieving the loss of both parents within a 4 month period, like my hubby ... you want a hug not a tree. We are our greatest resources.When you are going thru your trials who or what do you turn to ? I look for that little old lady in the back of the church, you know the one 'MaDear' or 'Sis. Lucy' ... she has rough hands from years of domestic work, but a sweet spirit from close, personal contact with the SAVIOR. Every church has at least one. I look for her because I know she can get a prayer thru. She has JESUS on speed dial. Knowledge is also very important. King Solomon is sooo adamant that we get it. Just check out the book of Proverbs. He tell us to"get wisdom", "not forsake wisdom"; "esteem" and "embrace" wisdom. King Solomon is single-minded. Rather than urging us to pursue success and recogition he urges us on this path of wisdom finding in the hopes of finding eternal life, safety and honor.Remember wisdom was what Solomon asked GOD for when GOD asked him what he would like { 1 Kings 3; 2Chron. 1 }. And everything else ( gold,trees, coal etc.) followed. What are some of the things you do to show your love and care to your loved ones ? Are there anythings you want to do ? Is there room for improvement ? Remember that once they are gone they're ... gone. Do you see areas in need of repair or improvement in your life ? They might seem huge or overwhelming right now but, all major tasks can be broken down into smaller ones. One of my favorite sayings is "How do you eat an elephant ... one bite at a time."
