Our Pastor says this all of the time and I think it's such a good reminder. I wasn't sure if this was actually a quote from somebody else, so I did a little research. I came across a site (Christian Devotionals) which referenced the following, found in the book: A Song of Ascents by Eli Stanley Jones – “Someone asked a Negro minister, pastor of a growing and dynamic church, how he accomplished it. He replied: ‘I hold a crown a few inches above my people’s heads and watch them grow into it.’”
Don't you just LOVE that saying? It's such an encouraging statement. None of us have arrived, so let's be kind and patient with one other. I need this reminder myself!
I hope you're week is off to a good start. And, while you're at it, you might want to check out this post.
Happy day!
