Brokenness is a great blessing

Francis Kong — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 03:04:37 +0000

Vance Havner says, “God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume.”

God uses mightily those who have been hurt deeply and in this aspect, brokenness is a great blessing.

Dreams for Debt

Francis Kong — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:18:23 +0000

Off to Singapore for some speaking and training commitments.

Just one thought for the day:

Do not trade your dreams for debts. Do not sleep well at night until you have paid it off. Money borrowed does not belong to you.

Benjamin Franklin says: “Creditors have better memories than debtors.“

Carrying The Cross

Oswald Chambers says: “All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
Carrying the cross does not mean carrying a problem. When Jesus carried His; He was on a mission to die for us. Everyone who carried the cross died on the cross but Jesus bodily resurrected to offer us life and hope. Today is a good day to reflect on this.

My entire family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the love and concern you have shown during our moment of grief. The flowers are lovely, the text messages reassuring and the Facebook expressions are very consoling. My father is in the best place and in the best company and through this loss of ours, we see the great gain of The Resurrection and the Hope and the true wealth of having true and caring friends and family.

Leaders who win the respect of others are the ones who deliver more than they promise, not the ones who promise more than they can deliver.” says Mark Clement.
One winning principle we can all cultivate for life is this: Always give more than what we’re paid for. Those who keep on counting the hours and counting the wages are never happy and worst….they never grow!
Happy growing today, this week and the rest of your life.

We all desire relationships in which we are accepted, valued, and wanted. We desperately long for this esteem from our peers, but seldom experience the real thing. This is why teens succumb to peer pressure. This is why people enter into disastrous relationships wanting to be needed.
Inspire your people by appreciation and recognition. This goes a long way. Make their work life meaningful.

Are you really busy?

Francis Kong — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:24:18 +0000

There is none so busy as those who do nothing.
No matter how busy people are, they always stop & talk about how busy they are.
People who talk too much about how busy they are, they’re not.
Busy people don’t even have the time to talk much because they work much. Work on but take a break every 90 minutes. This way you can rest, recharge and still maintain productivity. Takes a lot of discipline to do this.
