Lessons Observed


Our youngest granddaughter is in the process of potty training this week.  Some lessons have been observed that transfer to other situations as well.
 
* Desire and willingness help keep the goal in focus
* New challenges take time and effort to master
* Accidents happen
* Messes need to be cleaned up quickly and thoroughly
* It can be beneficial to have someone come alongside the person for the task at hand
* It is important to listen and respond when a request for help is spoken
* Accountability makes a difference
* Whether playing or working, it is important to take a break as needed
* Encouragement and praise are great motivators
* There is much excitement and joy when goals are successfully accomplished

Whatever the task at hand this week, may we all find helpful reminders and lessons to embrace and apply in order to accomplish the desired outcome.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11

Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
Romans 15:2

Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11
