Tammy and I had the pleasure of sharing with a wonderful group of leaders...servants...of Cookson Hills Christian Ministries this weekend. Cookson Hills offers help, hope, and healing to children and families, in crisis.
Our thanks to Rick Bayless, Executive Director, and Marvin L Gray, a mutual friend, for the opportunity to serve.
We asked for the ability to, in some way, strengthen and/or encourage the people of Cookson Hills in the work they do. We also prayed that we would be open to be taught of them, because of the deep admiration and respect we have for the excellent and enduring reputation of this wonderful organization.
Without a doubt the latter part of our prayer was answered.
For information about Cookson Hills, visit their website at http://www.cooksonhills.org/.
The men and women of Cookson Hills are people of character, who have chosen to invest their lives...their talents, their strengths, their core motives, in order to bless the lives of others.
Dr. Taylor Hartman often speaks and writes about "using your gifts to bless the lives of others." My understanding of that phrase was enriched as Tammy and I pondered and talked about the blessing of our time together with them.

No matter what your personality, your core color and it's motive, whether RED - Power, BLUE - Intimacy, WHITE - Peace, or YELLOW - Fun, our lives find their true meaning and value when we express them combined with the higher motives of service and love.
Charactered living is driven by service. Successful living is driven by love. These two motives are the essence of a life well lived. They are the "stuff" of leaving a lasting legacy.
Motive matters, no doubt.
May God continue to bless all the special people, associated in any way, with Cookson Hills Christian Ministries, by filling them with the fullness of who He is...always.
