John Maxwell's prayers at 60

Lord, as I grow older, I think I want to be known as…

Thoughtful, rather than gifted,

Loving, versus quick or bright,

Gentle, over being powerful,

A listener, more than a great communicator,

Available, rather than  hard worker,

Sacrificial, instead of successful,

Reliable, not famous,

Content, more than driven,

Self-controlled, rather than exciting,

Generous, instead of rich, and

Compassionate, more than competent.

I want to be a foot-washer.
