CIRCLE OF TRUST.
My dad passed away when he was 60 years old. Many have heard me say that my dad’s final 10 years of his life were very difficult. Since starting F3, I have been committed to finishing my life strong. When my dad was 48 or 49 years old, I would have never believed he only had 10 years+ to live. So today begins the second half. I look forward to the next chapter of my life.
I have become inspired by Albert Schweitzer who transformed his life many times. Schweitzer started as a concert organist then became a pastor, a medical missionary and then a philosopher and author. At 77 years old, Schweitzer won the Nobel Peace Prize. Schweitzer believed that the “world was in decay because we lacked a will to love.”
Schweitzer also said, “Tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives. In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another person. We should all be thankful for the people who rekindle the inner spirit.”
I am grateful how the PAX continually rekindle my fire – my inner spirit.
Grace & Peace,
Wait Time (RESPECT!!!)
