masterwordsmith-unplugged

My husband's favorite authors are Joel Osteen, John Maxwell and Zig Zaglar....He reads motivational books everyday unlike yours truly who thrives on a diet of Coetzee, Camus, Marquez, Ha Jin, Nabokov etc. He used to encourage me to read his books and vice versa of course. For many years, I thought I was better off because I read so much more than he does, and have even annexed his share of the shelves in our study much to his chagrin.

When storms raged in my life, that was when I realized that whilst I have a better vocabulary, literary knowledge and can write better than he does, he is better off in life with his gems of wisdom and steadfastness in the way he lives his life. Whenever I ran into problems, he would just listen to me without saying much and at the end of my rant, when all the tears had flowed and I was wiping my tears and blowing my nose, all he needed to say was one or two sentences, filled with so much wisdom that ministered to my broken soul and I know that it is his 'diet' of self-help books and daily bible readings that have molded him to be the solid rock in my life...Of course, I wished then during courtship days and even now that he would talk more but the little that he says is enough for me to chew for a long time...In fact, I used to tell him that he should have been a preacher/pastor instead of his chosen vocation :-).

So tonight, I'd like to share with you some slides that remind me so much of the way my better half builds me up with his gentle and non-judgemental way..wisdom birthed from a humble spirit, a teachable heart and a life that yields to God, not man...

Turn up your speakers, enjoy the lovely music and be inspired with words of wisdom from Zig Zaglar....God bless you!




And here's another one that you might enjoy....I just love the slides and inspirational messages, not forgetting the pulsating music...Enjoy and be inspired!
