When was the last time you were challenged to do something really…
well… great?
.
President Abraham Lincoln helped me to understand that there is a
bit of greatness within all of us. It is said that he often slipped
out of the White House on Wednesday evenings to listen to the
sermons of Dr. Phineas Gurley at New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church.
.
He generally preferred to come and go unnoticed, so when Dr.
Gurley knew the president was coming, he left his study door open.
On one of those occasions, the president quietly entered through a
side door of the church, took his seat in the minister’s study,
located just off the sanctuary, and propped the door open just wide
enough to hear the preacher.
.
During the walk home one Wednesday evening, an aide asked Mr.
Lincoln his appraisal of the sermon. The president thoughtfully
replied, “The content was excellent… he delivered with
eloquence… he had put work into the message..”
.
“Then you thought it was an excellent sermon?” questioned the aide.

A feeling of abundance may have enveloped your whole being, which could find you lending money and sharing your resources. Because you are feeling plentiful, you may want to express your gratitude to the universe by circulating the wealth. You can share it with those you love, or donate to an organization that you would like to support. You can give something back to those who helped you to reach this point, be it schools, communities, or just supportive individuals. It may bring you great joy to take a former teacher of yours a gift, or invite your mentor out for a meal. When you share your abundance, you invest it positively in the energy that makes your life fulfilling, while uplifting others as well.
