Winning
This is the time of football rivalry and the 'big' game. I read an article on gambling addiction and the first line was.
How much must we win to feel successful?
Perhaps that is a challenge that has not so much for most of us on gambling as in finding some meaning in our lives.
What counts in the end as success? Is it marked in how many 'toys' we have or how big our house is, how new our car, or clothing, or music player? Is it a question of how many gigs our computer or palm pilot holds?
nope
Jewel sings a song that ends... In the end only kindness matters.
I've quoted it before but it seems timely.
JEWEL LYRICS
"Hands"
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands
God abides
