Thriving

​My congregation recently distributed a booklet to aid us in winning souls to Christ.  As a part of the booklet it has a section providing 20 ways to Thrive from within.  I was so moved, that I had to share:

1. Immerse yourself in the Word of God
2. Wake up every day thanking God for another day
3. Start your day with a prayer
4. Be thankful for who you are and what you bring to the world
5. Celebrate who you are on a daily basis – There is no one else in the world quite like You
6. Worship and praise God everyday
7. Attend worship services weekly
8. Attend Bible classes weekly
9. Study and mediate daily
10. Give yourself to others on a regular basis
11. Think of others more than yourself
12. Smile – It really is contagious, and you never know who else it might impact
13. Be your own sunshine as most living things thrive in sunshine
14. Think of Godly, positive things
15. Love unconditionally
16. Laugh out loud
17. Share the goodness of God with all you meet
18. Celebrate your small victories; grouped together they are HUGE accomplishments
19. Don’t not procrastinate – Just do IT, whatever IT is
20. Always follow through and follow up

I hope you find these as meaningful as I did and do!  I am thankful to my congregation – Greenville Avenue Church of Christ    for their foresight.

Glory To God for All That He Has Done

Blessings – Janice
