How do you handle subscriptions? Do you loan your subscriptions to other people? Or Do you share it with someone else? Or are you the person who wants all the benefits but does not want to pay for the subscription?
Here's the litmus test, would you like this kind of activity be done to you? If you do such - over a small amount of money, I wonder what would you do over a thousand dollars? Or tens of thousands of dollars?

Some of you guys, my heart goes out for you today because you're dealing with children that you have a broken relationship with. You don't have any ties, any connections.
Here's what I want you to do today. Reach out to those kids today with maybe a word of encouragement, maybe a hug on them, love on them. Tell them that you love them. I am not saying condone what they've done. We have a lot of kids out there that are knuckleheads that have done the wrong thing. They've made bad decisions. But let me remind you of something. You made some bad decisions yourself as a child, as a teenager, as a young adult.
Don't hold them to a standard that you're not willing to adhere to yourself when you were a younger kid. Let's show some grace. Be the bigger person. What I am saying is there is nothing that they would do that would separate my love and willingness to go out and pursue them. Maybe you need to say "Hey I don't agree with what you're doing but I want you to know that I will spend my last quarter helping you if you're willing to change." Don't love your passbook more than you do your kid. You got to love them back to you not beat them into submission.

I want to talk to you about how to keep the main thing the main thing. And I am talking about our relationship with our spouse, our marriage. The number one thing that we've done in our marriage to keep it successful is keeping Christ at the center. Our relentless pursuit of Christ I think has helped us more than anything in our relationship.

I want to encourage you to think about this, right during these devastating trying times and just consider where you can put your confidence in your faith.
Happiness is a choice, not a trade. We have to choose to be happy. And the thing that we need to be really more focused on now, that happiness is joy and for me I can only find joy in the Lord.

Do you know why some people are ahead and some just flounder? It is with the ATTITUDE!
Your attitude has everything to do with how are you going to be progressing in whatever role you are currently in. Are you a complainer/whiner or are you the person who focuses on the good things that are happening?
