Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - November 25th

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough. - Oprah Winfrey

This past Thursday night, a political contact called me late in the evening.  While we were talking, we discussed my job, my political future, my personal life, etc.  During that call, I made the comment that I am very happy and thankful for my life even though I do not have all the desires of my heart.  He later made the comment that I should look at my life from a different perspective.  He said that I have an amazing job that many people dream of and that if I was younger and had not experienced everything I have in this life, I would not be having the impact in this world that I am.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this Thursday, I challenge you to remember to be THANKFUL for everything.  When we are thankful for what we have, we will have more joy, love and passion.  We will end up having more than we could have ever imagined!!!!

BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AND FOR PERFECT TIMING!

Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - November 18th

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire ... if you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something ... for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times ... during those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations ... they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge... which will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes ... they will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary ... because it means you've given your all.

It's easy to be thankful for the 'good' things ... yet, a life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive ... find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.

Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - November 11th

“We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community

Last week, Terri’s Tuesday Tip of the Week discussed being thankful for what we have even if we do not have all the desires of our hearts.  

This week, I want to expound on it.  Often times, we are thankful for the big things in life such as a job promotion, an awesome test score, or purchasing a new car.  However, I want to challenge you not to forget the little things in life. 

October was a CRAZY month for me with everything going on politically.  Through it all, I was reminded to be thankful for EVERY experience, EVERY meeting, and EVERY opportunity….no matter how big or small.    

Nothing I have gone through or will go through will be a waste in my life and it is preparing me for the amazing future that is destined for me.

I challenge you as we continue this month of Thanksgiving to be thankful for all aspects of your live…the big and small….good and trying times.  If we did not have these various times in our lives, life would be boring….and who wants a boring life!

“Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.”

― A.W. Tozer

Thank You to all the men and women that have served this amazing country in our military.

Happy Veteran’s Day!
