Today's RST comes to us from my mom (thanks, Mai)--and it's a quote of Sir Winston Churchill's she ran across the other day:
"To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour."
Very cool, especially from a man who knew a thing or two about "their finest hour." (Nerd Alert: for those who unlike me--geek--didn't read every book about WWII they could get their hands on when they were a kid, Google that phrase, and while you're at it, "The Battle of Britain." Those were the dark early days of WWII when the outcome was still very much in doubt).
At any rate, great quote, and interesting idea, that we are each given chances in life to do "special things, unique to us, and fitted to our talents." How does that happen? How are we so outfitted? Think about it for a while--more later.
You've been prayed for today...
