Some people think its more of a blessing to give than receive. Giving is an act prompted not by what is deserved but rather by the nature of the giver. I believe that receiving is just as important. When a person receives, they have to literally open up, remove pride and take hold of what's being offered which is equally a blessing. In this season of Thanksgiving, which are you? A giver or Receiver? Both are a place of blessings.

Your gratitude attitude determines your life altitude!! Your decision to grow in gratitude will shift you to a higher frequency and will attract so many great things if we have an attitude of gratitude. So lets determine during the month of November to be consistently grateful and thankful for the people, places and things in our lives. 

Thankfulness is an important part of life. In fact, it's so important that those who refuse to honor God with gratitude destroy their own heart. We routinely take significant things for granted such as the air that we breathe and the life that we have. During the month of November, we set aside time to give thanks on November 26th designated for Thanksgiving Day. Let's take everyday of this month and give thanks for all the blessing large or small. 

Whatever positions you held in this election, we all have a stake in the future health of the national  community, so we all need to find ways to lessen negativism and division and to reengage the common good.” Let's find ways to be kinder to each and work toward things that serve us all. 

A real conversation always contains an invitation. You are inviting another person to reveal herself or himself to you. to tell you who they are or what they want. One good conversation can shift the direction of change forever. Always remember, conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. So be brave enough to start a conversation that matters. 

Change is never easy. The process is likely to be more " Stop, Start, Stop, Start" than the smooth transition. We like it to be. Small changes eventually ass up to huge results. If you're going to grow you have to be intentional about changing. Life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change. 

Life is about change, sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's beautiful but most of the time it's both. The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building and embracing the new.

One of the ways we learn is by imitation. But while imitating others, make sure you don't lose your uniqueness or your identity. Your uniqueness is your SOUND. your VOICE and your SIGNATURE. No one wants to listen to a cheap copy of someone else. So join us for this week's episode of Connective Conversation over on Apple Podcast as we embrace and discuss the things that make us unique. 

Most of us believe in the concept of potential, we can even recognize it in others. But we have a difficult time seeing or believing in our own potential. And it doesn’t matter how much we love something (our passion) or how much we know what we are called to do with our life (our purpose), we can still convince ourselves we have reached our limit. We all have the ability to do something that goes far beyond what we believe we have the capacity to accomplish. Our Creator placed it there. Potential is having or showing the capacity to develop into something in the future; latent qualities or abilities that may be developed for future successes or usefulness. In order to develop confidence you must realize your potential.

Friend... You were created for a purpose! You have a calling and a mission to fulfill. Your purpose maybe raising amazing kids; it maybe in ministry or on the mission fields. You could be called to the business world or the arts, music or science but know that you were created for SOMETHING GOOD. There's a WHY to your existence. In order to have confidence to go to the next level, we must discover our purpose. Someone else needs what you love. Let's discovery our purpose.
