The Ultimate Measure

The Ultimate Measure

         “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in comfort and convenience, but where he stands in challenge and controversy,” by Martin Luther King Jr.  The true standard we’re held to is who and how we help others.

         Bread is an important part of our faith, but it must be broken to be shared.  So if we feel like we are broken, we’re being prepared in order to be shared.        

         We can get ideas and suggestions by paying attention to the input we get from the people that contact with us.  Anyone can raise to great heights to inspire our actions.

         A guy who writes reflections has used “We can spill light.  We don’t need light spilling classes or workshops.”  When I saw this recently, what occurred to me was “we are not challenged to spill darkness.”

         Any opportunities we face as issues or problems need to be uplifting to have a positive effect on our environments.  Over the years I’ve learned that we connect better with others through our brokenness than through our wholeness.  Don’t look down, measure up!
