Practice Honour

Mary maneuvered her shopping trolley to join the queue in the grocery store. In front of her was a mother and her little daughter of 5 or 6 years. The Mother started to load the shopping onto the conveyor belt and the little girl reach in to the trolley to help. She grabbed a carton of eggs and as she lifted them out, they slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor. Eggs oozed from the broken carton.

'What did you do that for? Her Mother barked. 'Can you not do anything right? I knew I should have just left you at home. Just stand there and do not touch anything else.'

The little girl looked at the mess she has made on the floor with the broken eggs. Mary felt her pain. If that was how her Mother treated her in public, what was it like at home. She reached over to the lady on the cash register and asked for some paper towels.

'Don't worry, it was an accident,' Mary said to the hurt little girl, 'I saw you trying to help. That was kind of you.'

The Mother muttered something under her breath, but the little girl's face lit up.

'Could I help you?' She shyly asked Mary. 'Of course,' Mary said as she showed her how to pick up the slippery eggs, and the little girl smiled again.

Mary could only hope that as the Mother and daughter left the shops that day, that the little girl would not always be treated like that.

Imagine for a second how the world would be transformed if every man, woman and child showed honour to others.

To honour is to to hold in high respect, to revere, to show a courteous regard for, to treat someone else like they are a treasured possession, even if they do not feel like it.

Look around your world today and make a conscious decision that you are going to honour and respect those around you, it will make life so much easier!

The Real You Women's Conference Oct 5th - 6th 2007

For the girl that has ever looked in the mirror and wished for longer hair, bigger lips, smaller ears, a thinner figure, whiter teeth, wider eyes, better make up, a prettier smile........this is for you!!

Have you ever noticed when you walk down Shop Street, or Grafton Street or any high street for that matter!? that girls all tend to dress the same? Yes there are differences of course in styles, colours, shapes etc, but everyone is trying to be someone else, trying to look like someone else, trying to fit into a mould. And do you know what the ironic thing is? You are best at being you, not being your sister, your best friend, the girl from the Rimmel advert or new TV soap.

You were made YOU and guess what? You are amazing, you are unique, you are priceless, you are treasured, you were designed, not just thrown together, you are a masterpiece. You were not an accident. You are here at this time for a reason. You are best at being you. Do not try and be anyone else, do not try and fit into a mould that was never made for you.

And sure nobody is perfect, we all have made wrong decisions and mistakes, but do not focus on them. Focus on the fact that YOU are amazing, not the person beside you, you're husband, cat, dog or best friend. YOU are amazing. Learn to like yourself and life will be so much better.

Embrace what you have. You may want a smaller figure, different family, prettier smile, and while you can change some things, others you just have to learn to accept and embrace.

Be You, because you are Beautiful.

This is what this whole conference is about. It is to inspire you to be the amazing person that God created you to be.
Friday and Saturday night 7:30pm & Saturday morning 11am and 12am.
