Thrive Kids

Think about it...
What have you been doing this past year?
Most of us followed the rules of social distancing. We cancelled vacations, spent holiday’s and Birthdays alone.
Ate, gained weight, watched movies, you get the picture.
Think about it...
What lost opportunities did we miss?
Did we forget about our Loving God?
Think about it...
Did we get so caught up on the current pandemic, problems, isolation that we move away from God.
Ok I’m not saying you forgot about God.
Think about it...
Did you miss the opportunity to draw closer to God?
Did you increase you quality time with Him?
Or did the other things consume more of your time.
Think about it...
Where is God right now

What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘Praise’?

Think about it…

We crave praise. We long to hear someone tell us ‘job well done’, or ‘I’m proud of you’
We long to hear the accolades of praise.

Think about it…

When was the last time you praised someone? We are very good at finding the bad things in people. We highlight their failures, correct their mistakes, and proofread their life. We are quick to interject our thoughts and jump on the band wagon to discredit a spouse or friend. Our actions become magnified when we get others agreeing with our criticism’s

Think about it…

How different your life would be if you put into practice this word: Praise. Giving praise is not that hard. It does take thought. It does take action. It does take change.

Think about it…

Take this challenge. For 21 days use words of praise to a spouse, friend, co-worker, classmate, or bully in your life. See if your words of praise make a difference. I believe they will.
Proverbs 18: 21 (NIV) says: The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Think about it…

A simple change in the way we speak can change you and the people around you. I challenge you today to begin speaking life in those around you. Your rewards will be full of people that want to be with you because of the praise they receive from you.

Think about it…

God also desires our praise. Don’t leave him out. Take the time to praise him and see your life grow in ways you never thought possible.

Think about it

Think about it…

What if this all happened to you in just one day?
Kick the dog
Step on the cat
Spill coffee on your cloths
Yell at the kids
Get a speeding ticket
Be late to work
Get screamed at by the boss
Get bumper smashed in parking lot
Get emergency call from childs school
Rip your pants
Twist your ankle

Okay enough is enough

Think about it…

Okay maybe I got carried away.

Think about it…

We get upset and angry when we are faced with just 1 of these.
When do we trust God?
When do we welcome God into our day?
When do we praise God?

Think about it…

We should welcome God in the Morning, noon, Evening, and night. We should welcome God in every part of our life. We should welcome God in the God times and the bad. Most important, we should welcome God into our heart.

Think about it…

God Loves You
Talk to him now, invite him into your life
He is waiting for you.

GOD LOVES YOU
