Grateful hearts


I met the most wonderful and positive person today, Coach Davenport. He coaches basketball at Bellarmine College. He is just a powerful person to listen to and so encouraging. And he has a powerful voice! I guess you have to so the team can hear you over the crowds cheering!

Well he talked and encouraged the group I was in to be grateful. He said that it only takes 1.63 seconds to say thank you to the bus driver, your school teacher as you are leaving, someone helping you. We are part of something incredible and that it isn't about me, but our focus should be on each other. Not what I do, but what WE do.

This is so true. Not only in sports, or at work, but in our everyday lives. If we take the time to encourage someone, to just say thank you for the small stuff, how much more positive our world would be?

Coach said that we aren't good enough on our own. We need each other to bring out the best in each of us. 

This is your assignment.....Find something positive to say to your co-worker, parent, bus driver, boss, brother or sister (yes, I know that may be a hard thing to do!). EVERYDAY!! When you start to encourage others, you will see the negativity leave and a much more happier world. And when you do this everyday, your focus will be on the positivity of this world and blind to the negative. 

Philippians 2:3–4

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Love to all,
