I have been recently pondering how sometimes our inability to say no to things and to people can impact our ability to say yes to other things and people. When you minister in the church there is never a shortage of things to do or people to serve. Yet all too often those of us with a giving heart and spirit offer a bit too much of ourselves and leave far too little to offer our loved ones.
If you like me struggle with how to say no in order to say yes, let me recommend a great little book on the subject, What Matters Most by Doug Fields. In just under a 100 quick pages you will hear from one of the busiest men in youth ministry on how he has battled with understanding when to say no.
