** This thread discusses the content article: Seven Things To Do... **

I love John Wooden. I think he was one of the greatest basketball coaches EVER! He was interested in making sure his team was influenced on and off the court. I have read a few of his books and would like to share something I believe his dad shared with him!

1. 
   Be true to yourself.[/quote]
   


2. 
   Help others.[/quote]
   


3. 
   Make each day your masterpiece.[/quote]
   


4. 
   Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.[/quote]
   


5. 
   Make friendship a fine art.[/quote]
   


6. 
   Build a shelter against a rainy day.[/quote]
   


7. 
   Pray for guidance and count and give thanks for your blessings every day![/quote]
   

What do those 7 things mean to you? Are you true to yourself? Do we really take the time to help others or are we so selfish that we only think about how someone can help us? The one that gets me is to make each day your masterpiece! I so wish I could do this! Each day is a gift from God. I pray that I will take the days more seriously and that I will use my time wisely here on earth! Number 4... Drink deeply from good books. Why do we forget about the Bible? Or am I the only one that doesn't read it near enough? Do you treat your friends like a piece of expensive art? I often treat them like an old painting that is only used for my convience. The 6th one important to think about... You never know what storms winds may blow. If we are in prayer daily and ask God for His shelter to protect us we will be better prepared when the tornado hits! Today take the time to write a prayer thanking God for the blessings you have in your life. If you are really up for a challenge go tell someone in your family that you appericate them!


 


Dear, Lord, I pray that you help the girls of the world and myself to live by these 7 Things To Do. I pray that we are leading examples of Your Truth in a dying world! Thank you for Jesus! Help us to help others! Remind us how each day is a gift. We LOVE you and give all PRAISE and GLORY to YOUR NAME!


 


                                                                In Your Precious Son's Name,


                                                                                  Amen
