My favourite chapter so far! But then, I think I may have said that before. I was touched by your example of encouraging the flight attendant! I know leaders that would be too ‘big’ to do something like that because it is potentially a vulnerable act. But these examples of true greatness have touched and inspired me more than almost anything else. Your writing is wonderful! Your wisdom valid for today. But to have these little glimpes into the ways you live it is such a gift! Thank you!

God has called me to be an encourager and I do this with great delight, and sometimes a bit of fear but I have never regretted inspiring someone to be all they can be. This chapter has really challenged me to grow in this area! Blessings to you!

Speakers too often have the attitude, This what I think; sit down, and listen. (Missing the word ‘is’ after ‘This’)
