Mountain Top People

Yesterday we had the opening ceremony for the 18th YMCA World Council. We heard some amazing facts about what the YMCA does and hopes to do.

Two things really stood out for me......

Firstly the quotes and sayings about being mountain top men and mountain top women ... being people who .... soar above obstacles to the promised land; sees the rainbow & the sunrise; who have our head in clouds and feet firmly embedded in the rock

Having such awe inspiring views .... really helps to stir us on to be mountain top men and women.

Ps: I would put an amazing photo here ... If I could figure out how to do it from my iPad!!

 “And if these mountains had eyes, they would wake to find two strangers in their fences, standing in admiration as a breathing red pours its tinge upon earth’s shore. These mountains, which have seen untold sunrises, long to thunder praise but stand reverent, silent so that man’s weak praise should be given God’s attention.”
(Donald Miller)

Secondly the key Note address by Gabriela - wow!
Three key lesson for us all:

1. Never underestimate the power of one key moment or the effect that an encouraging or kind word can have. WORDS HAVE POWER!

2. Take a leap of faith! We all know that faith can move mountains!

3. Walk in a good way! Be a great role model, people will follow your example; better still give them other the courage to walk good in their own way!!
