Peace, the Fruit of Small Surrenders

“Small surrenders make up a stained glass mosaic.” — unknown

As you read this, on this day (Sunday), what comes to mind for you?

There are many possible directions and interpretations.

It reminds me, at first glance, the daily surrender necessary to overcome addiction.

One day at a time.

A small surrender to desire.

And sometimes in one day, there are many small surrenders.

And then tomorrow, begin again.

Repeat until death.

Got Courage?

Thank you Mary and to you too, Joseph, for your courage to do what was needed.

Rejoice.

Peace on Earth, good will toward men.

Emmanuel.

Prince of Peace.

And the list goes on and on.

But does my courage?

What was your answer?  Mine was simple.

Passion!

Followers want a leader who has passion.  Passion to make a difference.  Passion to do good. For other people.

Ever wonder why people do the things they do?  Ever wonder why you do the things you do?  I do.  Tomorrow, I’ll share my “why?”.  Let’s compare again.  Not comparing to see who’s right or wrong, simply an exercise to get us thinking.

“An unexamined life is not worth living”. Why are you here?  What’s your purpose?  Carpe diem.

Where’s the humility in posting your name on your blog?

Not sure it has anything to do with humility at this point.  It has to do with Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  Others call it Search Engine Marketing (SEM).

By any name, it’s really about helping and serving others.

How?

How can you help someone if they don’t know who you are and especially if they don’t know that you would like to help?  SEO and SEM help get the word out when people use Google, Yahoo, and other search engines.
