Family Prayer Made Easy

   by Teresa J. Herbic Once I was lost, but now am found,  “Amazing Grace,”  John Newton Childhood can be a life-directing time for us. Some have an abundant, happy childhood, while others barely survive. Some of you may remember John Newton, best known for writing one of history’s most deeply moving hymnals,  “Amazing Grace.”  You may know the story of his inspiration to write the song, however, many are not familiar with his childhood struggles. By age six, John hit a rough patch of vast affliction. His mother, an exceptionally spiritual woman, lost her life to tuberculosis. His father, a ship commander, sent John away to boarding school shortly after when he remarried. At school, John suffered mistreatment. He also felt all alone like an orphan. So at age eleven, John rejoined his father on board his father’s ship. Later, he boarded a different ship, one that ran the Sierra Leone coast. There, he served as a slave trader. It turned out to be a horrendous...

  “Nothing Shakes the Smiling Heart,” renowned Nepal poet Santosh Kalwar once shared.   What can a smile do--inside and out?   * It breaks the tension of a room or even a video meeting. * It lets others know you are human; they are human, so let us relate to one another as human beings. * It reminds us that we are fortunate to live and breathe and do life together. * It communicates our positive demeanor to others no matter what. * It shares compassion and vision with hopeful hearts. * It takes away the bitter and frustration that sometimes plagues conversations. * It breaks down walls, builds villages, and grows businesses—whether online or in person. * It makes the world a better place.   May your heart smile today and every day! And may you see the benefits of always sharing a joyful heart!   #smilealways #successfulbusiness #positivemindset   Image Compliments: Unsplash  

  There are No Limits…to the Success You Can Achieve! As Aristotle once shared, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Yet when you’re striving to reach the next level of truly transforming your business, life, family, and even your world....it takes not only persevering efforts but it also requires a fresh perspective. Some give up. Some prevail. Some realize that with excellent habits, ethical behavior, accountability, and a positive, enduring mindset that dreams can and will be achieved. So, the question becomes: Do you see the purpose? Or are you in need of transition? As Norman Vincent Peale once said, “Change your thoughts, and you change your world.” Yes, we have the distinct ability and power to change our thoughts, and with faith, transform our businesses, families, tasks, and everyday strategy into a whole new light. Thus, I challenge you today to not only be business and environment game changers—but also world changers. For it...

                             God’s Will and Not Our Own… And with it: a “Season of Miracles” Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world,  but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.  Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2   On occasion, we wonder why God’s will doesn’t seem to match our own. This can be the case with any of the frustrations, sorrows, and uncertainties of life. Let’s face it, Friends and Family, today—there are many weariness symptoms of life. And although I, too, am saddened by the recent tragedies and tribulations of this world, I firmly believe with all of my heart and soul that God is turning a corner…   Into a “Season of Miracles…” A time when no man or woman, no leader, and no person on the planet will be able to explain the Glories of God—only that they are simply that—God’...

  Did you know that Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his baseball career?  That's the most in the history of baseball! WE DON'T REMEMBER the strike outs because Jackson never gave up, and he was always a valuable leader on the team. WE DO REMEMBER, however, all the (563) homeruns as Denzel Washington describes in this talk to University of Pennsylvania grads. For 14 seasons, Jackson was named an American League All Star. He also achieved the Most Valuable Player Award after knocking out of the park 3 home runs to clinch his most recent World Series Win. Jackson even earned a Babe Ruth Award. THE POINT: Some people give up. But others never will! And those who never give up will achieve Big Victories in life. SO,  NEVER GIVE UP! THE WINS ARE WORTH THE REWARDS  :-) https://lnkd.in/eJdEPGd #consistency   #careermotivation   #lifegoals   #dailygratitude

     Freedom in Jesus by Galen D. Herbic Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.1 Peter 4:10 Working from a virtual office, I often experience odd glances and confusing questions about how I earn an income. I dress professional most the time; however with a flexible schedule depending on prospect and client meetings I sometimes have a dedicated “work from home” day. One thing is for certain, I’ve developed a mentality that I truly use gifted skill sets to work for Jesus. This inspires me to blend volunteer service with a corporate sales career. Jesus is The Boss so that whatever I have and will receive is really of Him and for His kingdom.  My adopted children understand although daddy doesn’t work in a church building, he’s behaving as Jesus commands. From my experience, all children need this guidance, especially adopted children who require more direction at times. It seems t...
