I have been traveling quite a bit and have missed attending my church and hearing my dynamic pastor’s thought provoking messages. This past Sunday I was ecstatic to be back at my church. My elation diminished when I saw that there was a guest speaking that day. It’s like coming home and looking forward toward to your mother’s delicious cooking to find out that your mother stopped at a take out and brought food home. That was how I felt until one minute into his sermon, he asked the question How satisfied are you with your Christmas? He followed that question with the title of his sermon The Best Christmas Ever. He now had my attention. I realized that I was in for a treat and a treat that I could share.
Dr. Allen Williams presented a simple but powerful 123 formula and if followed guaranteed to give you the best Christmas ever. After hearing Dr. Williams I knew I had to share. A big lesson here is that I almost tuned him out because he was not what I wanted or what I thought I wanted. Does this sound familiar?
What you have been waiting for I know is the recipe
Allen Williams Recipe:
Seek the right thing. If you want to have a great Christmas make certain the things you want are the right things.
Give the right things. He used the wise men as an example and the gifts they brought of gold, frankincense and myrrh-- Gold for Jesus’ kingship, Frankincense for his role as a high priest and Myrrh to anoint him as the savior. Be more focused on what you are giving and make certain that it is meaningful to the recipient. Take yourself out of the picture so that you can be on point for the person you are gifting.
Do the right thing – Reach higher. Enjoy the wonder of what Jesus brought to earth. Be more loving. Do not go back to your old ways but continue to grow.
I left committed to (1) seeking the right thing as I enter into not only the Holidays but the new year by seeking and bringing the best of my gifts to my clients and my audience (2)Giving the right thing – Listening attentively and thoroughly tune into what my clients really want so that I can shine the light in the right direction to guide them and (3) Doing the right thing – I can keep reaching higher in my spiritual, professional, and personal life so that the energy that surrounds me radiates.
Take a few minutes to answer how you are going to make this your best and how will you seek the right thing, give the right thing, and do the right thing.
Thank you Allen Williams for giving me the formula for making this the best Christmas ever.
