Three things a church guy said (embrace the present, be bold, practice gratitude).
Something important.
What is gratitude?
Affirmation, giver’s joy
Not entitlement.
Don’t just think it, say it.
Only one year, be bold
Expressing gratitude brings
joy to you, others.
It’s harder not to smile?
3-year old boy hiding behind door. Maybe I’ll just it for a piece about Jonah or hiding from God or something like that.
Smiling takes some work
But blank face is even more
Smiling is a gift.
Party trick.
Hold pen in your mouth:
It forces you to smile
Perhaps consider.
Things not to say to people.
Don’t tell others this:
‘Just smile!’ Do not say this.
Just smile yourself.
Three things worth remembering.
Embrace the present.
Be bold, ask for what you want.
Practice gratitude.
Analysis of a decent public speaker.
He keeps it simple
Makes a list of three big things
Keeps repeating them.
Snuggle with mum.
A boy on my left
Listens, pulls away from me
I try to respect.
Youthful adventures.
Speaks of Singapore,
Passport, lost, slow boat, singing
99 bottles.
When it’s not yours.
A child’s whisper
Is funny when it’s not yours
It’s church megaphone.
Exercise.
To remember church?
The same way we remember
anything: write it down.
