A Meek and Thankful Heart

"God has two dwellings: one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart." Izaak Walton

I have been thinking a lot about meekness lately.

Especially what it means to be a leader who is meek.

Because although the two words seem like they contradict each other I think it is very possible to be a meek leader. The funny thing is based on the dictionary definition of meek - I am far from it. I can be patient, but I don't really do submissive and I am definitely not tame.

However, as I have been praying for my team, my volunteers, and my students I think they have enough LOUD leadership in their life. I want to help them make decisions on their own, not on what the loudest influence in their life is.
