A Season of Choice – Happy Thanksgiving (Re-posted)

Posted in Communciation, Empowerment, Spirituality, tagged , , , on November 21, 2014 | 2 Comments »

CornucopiaThanksgivingWith this being the season of Thanksgiving, I found it most fitting to share just one thing that I am thankful for.

Although a bit non- traditional, I find myself most thankful for the freedom of choice. Having the freedom to choose has led me on paths far and wide. As the years have gone by, I’ve tried many things in the way of relationships, ministry, business, jobs, education, etc. All of which led me to this moment and the following thought in which I will share with you today.

“In Life Realize” by Janie Williams Brown

By realizing the things In Life that I do not like…..

I have come to realize the things In Life that I do love……..

By realizing the things In Life that only fools try…..

I have come to realize the things In Life that’ll make one cry…..

By realizing the things In Life that I do not want….

I have come to realize that the good things In Life are worth the hunt….

By realizing the things In Life that God foreknew….

I have come to realize the things In Life that I am destined to do…..

This one thing I know to be true and that is that no one is to blame for the mistakes I’ve made along the way. Whether battles won or wars lost, I am the captain of my own choices.

In fact, I used my TaMiM to arrive at my current destination. What is a TaMiM you ask? According to ancient Jewish wisdom it is an affirmation of life which requires use of our God-given capabilities to make choices. Through life’s earnest experiences and the choices made I’ve come to a place of knowing who I am; who’s I am and most importantly appreciating who I have come to be.

Most graciously, I am thankful for this current cycle of choice; my choice to share this post, your choice to read it and the choices that will bring about positive thought and in-turn positive change this Thanksgiving Season.       

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours…..

Whats for Dinner?

                                                          A man feared his wife wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

Here’s what you do,” said the Doctor, “stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.”

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.” Then in a normal tone he asks, ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?” No response.

So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

Again he gets no response so, He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

“James, for the FIFTH time I’ve said, CHICKEN!”

The Moral of the story: The problem may not be with the other individual/person as we always think, it could be very much within us..! When we’ve lost our sense of hearing and somewhat fallen on deaf ears, we tend to project the need for an overhaul/self evaluation on everyone else. Take the time during this season of transition to evaluate one’s sense of hearing, to ensure that long awaited-life changing answers are not falling on deaf ears.
