One Thing
If each leader and parishoner took 30 minutes a day to think of 1 positive thing they take with them as they leave the property of their church, they can use that 1 positive thing to encourage them as they lead their ministries. For example, I enjoy being humorous when I'm at church (That's my ministry!!!).
- "Hello Mr. Robinson, how are you?"
- "I'm just trying to stay young like you!"
- "I'm just a squirrel in your world!"
- "Guess what? Chicken-butt!"
I enjoy using these lines because thru these lines I can provide a positive vibe to people who are different. Those who are senior to me have this unique characteristic because their only focus is to remain humble and grateful for another day of life. As life progresses the value of it becomes a reality, and the richness of reality comes from serving others.
I'm now empowered and committed to give my best when giving glory to the Living God who gave His ALL...
If ministry is about service then every single person in the church leads a ministry.
The church has people with backgrounds that are similar and different, our differences are powerful enough to create difficulty, yet that 1 positive thing could encourage all of us to continue in ministry despite the odds, worship the Lord and give Him glory for allowing us to live a life of longevity.
Our presence as leaders is important because ALL people can be moved and eager to join this mission by watching God move thru unique messengers as you all are.
Stay encouraged!
