As I was thinking about the holiday season and all of the desserts that I am going to consume; I was reminded of what dessert really is by definition. Dessert is defined as: A sweet course, treat or dish; served after the main course or dish. Life brings us so many of what we will just call "The Main Dishes of Life." I remember my first significant role as a leader and I was always so impatient. My mentor encouraged me to dream big and "be patient!" Initially, this seemed to be an oxymoron; however I began to embrace that my staff will not always be at the same place or level that I am in regards to thinking, execution or big picture understanding. Sponsor Ad I had to be patient and realize that in time my staff would get there; dreaming big with patience has been my leadership dessert. I am patiently able to learn from, as well as be a part of developing the world changers of today and tomorrow. Again, "The Main Dishes of Life" could be college and the sweet treat could be obtaining that college degree; that main dish could be your role as a leader and the sweet treats are the lessons that you learn daily; the main course could be that step in obedience in making the commitment to tithe and the sweet treats are the opened floodgates of blessings that God pours into your life, the main course could be the struggles of life, darkness, addiction, envy, inadequacies, insecurity, sin... and the SWEET TREAT is the truth, life, grace and forgiveness through Christ. Hold on to your fork, if you know what I mean! The bottom line is to always be mindful and thankful for the various seasons of main dishes that life prepares for us. Although "The Main Dishes of Life" that we receive may not always be seasoned to our liking, be our favorite dish or curb our appetite; there is an opportunity for a tasty treat after the main dish. We should always give God thanks for the foods of life that we are about to receive. Remember: It's All About Dessert! Scott Williams O.
