Empowering Kids
Nov 5th, 2008
EncouragersHey Everyone,

We only have a few short weeks until Thanksgiving, poor turkeys. I think we will go with ham this year, poor piggy's. Anyway, today with the spirit of thanksgiving take a moment and write down 10 things you are thankful for and put them where you can see them. Let this list serve as a gentle reminder of God's faithfulness and provision in your life. The list doesn't have to be overly "spiritual" just your thoughts of thankfulness. My list is right here.

1. I am thankful for my wife and kids
2. I am thankful that I can watch my kids play sports.
3. I am thankful for my house.
4. I am thankful for my small group.
5. I am thankful for my good friends.
6. I am thankful for hockey. (Go Ducks)
7. I am thankful that I could watch my daughters production. All 3 hours of it.
8. I am thankful that it's raining outside right now.
9. I am thankful for the book of James.
10. I am thankful for my car. (but not the gift certificates from the Highway Patrol)

Anyway, That's my list. I hope this E4 finds you empowered, balanced and thriving in the power of God's love and grace.

Continue to Make a Difference,
Craig

A Few Quotes For You

Where humor is concerned there are no standards - no one can say what is good or bad, although you can be sure that everyone will. John Galbraith

Men show their character in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable. Johann Von Goethe

I don't want any yes - men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs. Samuel Goldwyn

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite. G.K. Chesterton
