Life's little pleasures are found in moments where your presence makes a difference. Whether it be in your children, spouse, co-workers or even total strangers, there is a fire that is lit within you and a lightness to your soul. The interim periods of suffering, darkness, uncertainty and fear require bonds of commitment. But, make no mistake... you will reach the other side.
We lost a student last week. He is in a better place, but my concern is with those he left behind. Martial arts and good leadership in particular can lead to a moment in someone's life that changes the whole picture for them. Alters the path. How, being blessed by the Lord with a chance to offer that type of opportunity and love, could I walk away?
We are given the particular gifts we have for a reason. Yet we spend a lifetime envying what everyone else has. Why? Doesn't the Lord give us these specific gifts for a reason? I know what my life is... do you?
