Wow! What a great little video. Definitely worth watching. I’m going to replay it for my kids later on today—a great speaker with a great message!
Watch What You Say
any words you speak could be your last

Got 20 minutes? Watch this. It starts out as an absolutely charming discussion of how to appreciate classical music, but it’s really about effective evangelization and how we treat people. The closing anecdote is killer.
With a polite nod to The Anchoress for pointing this out.

My favorite line was “Who am I being that my children’s eyes are not shining?” I know when I’m actually fully present with my children, that this is what can happen. The conductor’s job is to give the musicians power—this is like what we moms do, and what we Christians do when we share Christ. Thanks, Rebecca!

Beautiful, moving and speaks straight to me as a mother at this point in my life when I am allowing so many things to make me anxious and cross when I should be rejoicing in the beautiful children I have with me every day. I pray that I will remember the final story that he told every day of my life.

I will try to treat people they way he suggested. It will be a challenge though. Thanks Danielle for linking me to this.
