Wow, 8 hours on the road Friday and -- then 3 Cross Country meets (beginning at 7:30am!) and a baseball game on Saturday -- followed by a full day of Worship and Small Group training today!
I'm about ready to hit the hay but I want to share from one of the impacting talks at Catalyst by the leadership guru John Maxwell.
He told us that the most important responsibility in our ministries and lives is to: Intentionally add value to people every day. He said that in every interaction we have we are either adding value to people or subtracting value from people . . . and that left to our human nature we are subtractors! Wow, that's powerful and convicting!
He gave us 4 ways to help add value to people:
1) You have to truly Value people (If we don't value them, we devalue them)
2) Make yourself more valuable (Keep growing and developing so you can help others)
3) You must know and learn to relate to what others value (What's important to them?)
4) I must do the things that God values (What else really matters?)
What a great goal . . . to add value to every person that I interact with this week . . . and that you interact with this week.

I find that this is not only true in our spiritual relationships with others, but with those who work with and for me.
