These days, is there any safe place to put our trust? Candidates, media, medical experts, vaccines, ... the story seems to change or 'evolve' with new information, and what we relied on last month might not hold true next month. Only in the Lord do we have the assurance that He is working for our good and is attentive to our cries for help.

Sure, I can make a difference, but can I make a SIGNIFICANT difference? If I spend a day picking up trash on the beach, have I made a significant difference on the ocean pollution problem? It's easy to depreciate the difference we can make because we believe it's not big enough, but. Jesus looks at what we offer through a different lens. Big or small doesn’t impress Him, but rather our willingness to give freely and generously.

Saint Francis of Assisi was one of the greatest blessings to Christianity. He once said this, then lived it out;

“I prefer you not talk to me about any other rule, nor recommend any other ideas or manner of life, than that which the Lord in his mercy has given to me. He told me I am to be a new kind of fool in this world.”

Being a leader is more than just being the person in charge. It’s also about encouraging your employees and setting an excellent example for everyone around you. And there’s plenty you can do to coach your employees to be the best they can be.
