The Professional
A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her small daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication. She got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys in the car. She didn't know what to do, so she called home and told the baby sitter what had happened.
The baby sitter told her that the fever was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door."
The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been left on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time had locked their keys in their car. She looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this."
She bowed her head and asked God to send her help. Within five minutes a beat up old motorcycle pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head.
The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me?" But, she was desperate, so.... She was also very thankful.
The man got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?"
He said, "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was opened.
She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank you so much! You are a very nice man."
The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour."
The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud,
"Oh, Thank you God!
You even sent me a professional!"

This past couple of weeks we've been enjoying the NBA finals ... we live in New England, and it's truly been a wonderful reminder about the power of focus and intention as we watched this season play out for the Boston Celtics.
Last week when they were behind, Coach Doc Rivers kept saying to them, "Believe!"
MasterMinding is in play when two or more minds come together in the spirit of harmony toward an objective or goal; anything is possible ... and "in the spirit of harmony" they miraculously came from behind to win and two games later won the championship.
But what if you are having trouble believing? You ask someone to believe with you and for you.
Over two decades ago, when I realized I had a purpose that extended beyond the classroom and counseling office, I was excited and scared. I had a vision of what I really wanted to do with my life, but I didn't know how, let alone believe 100% that the dream I'm living today could be accomplished by a small farm girl from Nebraska! But here I am, still MasterMinding ... and creating a world of difference with it!
When several people focus on your goals, your dreams and your opportunities
... it's like putting lightning in a bottle!
Reaching
out to make a difference ...
