All I Have Is Yours, Lord: A Reflection on Grace and Gratitude

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE All I Have Is Yours, Lord A reflection on grace, gratitude, humility and the beauty of surrender What do I have that I did not receive? What can I truly claim as mine apart from grace? There are moments when we need to pause and look beyond our achievements, possessions, abilities and ambitions. We may work hard for what we accomplish, make sacrifices for our families and spend years developing our talents. Yet, beneath every achievement lies a deeper truth: life itself is a gift. Our breath, our opportunities, our strength, our relationships and even the ability to begin again are blessings we often take for granted. Gratitude begins when we recognise that we are not the sole authors of everything good in our lives. The prayer “All I Have Is Yours, Lord” expresses a heart that no longer wishes to live only for possession, recognition or personal glory. It is the quiet acknowledgement that everything entr...

THE POWER OF EYE CONTACT : What Your Eyes Communicate Before You Speak

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE ✦ COMMUNICATION • BODY LANGUAGE • HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY THE POWER OF EYE CONTACT What Your Eyes Communicate Before You Speak Explore the different types of eye contact, the meanings of a glance, stare and glare, and how to use your gaze thoughtfully in interviews, conversations, presentations and everyday life. NOTICE • CONNECT • COMMUNICATE • RESPECT A Look Can Speak Without Words Imagine entering a room where someone looks up, makes brief eye contact and greets you with a natural smile. You may feel acknowledged and welcome before the conversation has even begun. Now imagine someone fixing an unbroken gaze on you, narrowing their eyes and refusing to look away. The same eyes that can communicate attention may now make you feel uncomfortable, challenged or intimidated. What changed? The eyes themselves did not change. The duration of the gaze, facial expression, relationship, situation and surrounding behaviour changed its possible meaning. Eye conta...
