Motivational Minute
Always Try to Do Your Best at Everything
Make it your life rule of living
to always do your best.
It's your constant effort to be
first-class in everything you
attempt that will help you
conquer the heights of excellence.
Let superiority become your trademark.
Do a little more each day than
you think you possibly can.
There is always a best way of
doing everything. Find it.
Do a little more than average
and from that point on your progress
multiplies itself out of all
proportion to the effort you put out.
Do more than you're supposed to do and
you can have or be or do anything you want.
If you want to enjoy enduring success,
try traveling a little in advance
of the rest of the world.
Your greatness will come from
being great in the little things.

Up Close and Personal
Hello:
Have you ever had a really bad case of the "I don't want to's"? I sure have! I just had one this last Sunday, as a matter of fact.
My husband Warren and I were invited to travel with a good friend to a church conference in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, about 100 miles from our home. I did NOT want to go and let it be known. I was tired and cranky and just wanted to stay home. (Does that sound like any children you know?)
Since my friend, Connie, would be travelling alone unless we went with her, and since my husband wouldn't go with her unless I went too, I relented at the last minute and said I would go.
We resolved to get there a half hour early so we could get a good seat, relax and enjoy the prelude music (and I could get a better attitude). Connie would pick Warren and me up at 8AM sharp, and the drive to the conference center would take 90 minutes going the speed limit, which would put us there at 9:30AM, a half hour early. So far, so good.
Connie, however, wound up taking a wrong turn on her way down to meet us and arrived 25 minutes late. This moved our earliest possible arrival time to 10AM, right when the conference was due to start. We would be lucky to even get there on time now. And we were not going to try breaking the speed limit to get there sooner. In our book that was a definite no-no.
With my husband asleep in the back seat, Connie and I
kept up a pretty constant conversation on the drive
down. We talked about nature, God and spiritual
things. My attitude improved considerably. I shared
with her my own true angel story:

And then we got the shock of our lives. As we drove into the conference center parking lot Connie glanced at the car clock. It showed 9:25 AM! That meant we had just made what was normally a 90 minute drive in just one hour, a seeming impossibility given the distance and our rate of speed. Wow!
But that wasn't all. By arriving at the exact time that we did, we just "happened" to park next to some people that Connie had been wanting me to meet for quite some time. Since we'd packed a picnic lunch (and so had they) to eat after conference, we decided to picnic together and chat.
What a surprise - what an amazing coincidence - for me to discover that this friend Connie especially wanted me to meet (Lori) and I had lived in the same town in New York state, at the same time, just a few blocks from each other, and had gone to the same elementary school at the same time: she in 5th grade, I in 6th. Wow!!
The conference was truly inspiring. It seemed as if every word was meant for me. I came home very well fed (spiritually and physically), energized and full of wonder.
God truly moves in mysterious ways...Wow!!!
Now I have a request to make, a small favor to ask of those of you who regularly read this column. (If you are a new subscriber please feel free to skip this part and go on to your next email. Thanks so much for reading!)
It's a BIG step out of my comfort zone to ask what I'm going to ask, and I most definitely "don't want to," but I must.
I need your faith, your prayers, and if you're financially able, a small donation from you (just $10 would be great) to help me keep this website and newsletter going. My husband has been supportive in the past when I came up short and needed help paying the bills, but he's not going to do it any more. Either I find a way to support it or make it earn enough to at least pay the bills every month or it gets shut down. Period.
If you'd rather not or feel you can't make a donation right now, it's OK...I won't unsubscribe you! You're special to me just the way you are, and I feel grateful, honored and blessed just because you take valuable time out of your busy schedule each week to read my ezine.
If, however, you'd like to help out by making a
donation of any amount, I'd surely be grateful!
