Thankful for little things

“The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.” Robert Louis Stevenson 

This is a good reminder for this day, even when we have a great vision and are reaching for the stars, just remember to enjoy those little things life is full of, be thankful for what we have, appreciate our loved ones more and be the positive influence we can we even in small little ways.

Motivational quote of the day

You don't become a master by learning how to do 4000 things... you become master by learning how to do a dozen of the right things 4000 times.

Terrence Storm

God turns trouble to blessings

Do you ever ask God for a trouble? I certainly don’t. But I do ask for strength and many times in order to strengthen me He sends the difficulties that workout the muscles of my faith.

I’ve heard of the Biosphere Two, a man-made living habitat in Arizona, where the designers failed to create wind within the structure. No wind to blow the trees back and forth created a problem: The trees would grow to a certain height and then topple over from their own weight. Lack of wind resulted in the trees not having a deeply extended root system.

Just as trees, we need the wind of adversity in order to grow our roots of faith deep. Those roots will keep us standing strong in face of anything that we will face in this life.

So, it is time to start being thankful for the ‘wind’ that God sends to strengthen us daily. He knows best and we just need to trust Him!

3 motivational thoughts for today.

By Natalie Spark

Just came across a motivational reading today about being passionate about making a lasting impact wherever you are. Maybe what we do seems little and insignificant and we don’t see the end result. But even a drop of water can make a hole in a big rock over a period of time. Each one of us has an influence, and we are the ones to choose what that influence will be on the people around us. So it is important to choose wisely and be a positive influence, and over a time we will have a great impact on the world.

I’ll share the three points from Jay Nathan that have motivated me today to be faithful with little things that can have great influence:

• We don't have forever.
 If you desire to make an impact, focus on it right now, where you are. It's easy to jump ship and go somewhere else, but the funny thing is that you always take yourself with you when you go.

• Start small, make little bets, get little wins.
 The little wins are bigger than you think, and little wins turn into bigger ones with perseverance and time.

• Prioritize
. It's easy to get frustrated that you can't resolve all the issues at once. But one thing's for sure, you'll never succeed unless you take the first step.
