Being Great

 I have read some fantastic books so far this year.....

Two in particular....

One of them was Greater by Steven Furtick

 








Another one I have just finished is Days Like These by Kristian and Rachel Anderson

 


If you don't know their story you can see a bit here....

These words in the final chapter just resonated with me and I wanted to share them 

"I think that's how you become truly great. You help others. You put yourself last so that they can go first. You don't have to have a million dollars in the bank. What is it you have in your hand? What are you good at? Are you a mechanic? Does someone you know need help with their car? Are you a gardener? Is someone you know unable to tend their garden? Are you an accountant? Does someone you know need help with their tax return? Are you a stay at home mum and you cook a mean pasta? Do you know someone who could really do with some help at mealtime? Are you a cleaner? Do you know someone who needs their house cleaned every now and then? Are you a regular dude who sees a family in a restaurant and you want to pay their bill? Do it. These are the sorts of things that make you great. These are the things that change the lives of others......"

Days Like These, pg 214-215 


I feel like I am really getting the message to challenge myself to be and do GREATER things with my life.
