Happy Wonderful Wednesday!
Several weeks ago, I quoted some thoughts from Marci, who authors and illustrates “Children of the Inner Light”. I found a wee piece she wrote about the road of life has twists and turns. Read it, consider it, and share your thoughts…
“Sometimes the road of life takes us to a place we had planned. Sometimes it shows us a surprise around the bend we could never have anticipated. We make decisions based on the information we have. We accept the ups and downs as they come. We live ‘one day at a time’. But often we find it is only when we look back that we can see that what we had thought was a ‘wrong turn’ has brought us to exactly the right place and every step was a right one after all!”
Wow… powerful! Life is life. I live it one day at a time because that is the only way I make it through the hard stuff and the wonderful stuff. I have had my twists and turns, have been and experienced things and events I did not want to experience, and have made the best choices I could make based on what I have and what I know! Sometimes they choices and decisions have worked and sometimes not. But, if I did not try, I would never know. Lately, I have seen some outdoor church signs spelling out PUSH… Pray Until Something Happens… I pray to help me make those choices and decisions; I pray to work through the experiences; and I pray to work through the twists and turns… just one day at a time!
The following are several critical deadlines and due dates to remember! They are coming up very quickly. Here they are!
April 15, 2014 – Annual RUSH Program is due.
May 1, 2014 – ATTA Girl nominations are due.
At convention, we will be celebrating a very special Service Award. I am thrilled that this sister will be joining us for that presentation. Plan to join us in League City, in the Houston area, for the celebration of her years of service. In addition, for this convention year, for Service Awards and Pallas Athene Recognition, we are going to use a form to capture all of that information and keep us organized. Please see the attached form for your use! If you need more information about the form, contact our Corresponding Secretary, Joyce Smith.
Speaking of convention, remember to send in your registration for an Angel-filled weekend of Texas ESA, education, service, and association. We will have it all there for you! So send in that form and check to be a part of a WONDERFUL convention!
