POSITIVE, UPLIFTING THOUGHT

SONY DSCMy thoughts this weekend focused on things I learned from my Dad. He taught me to see that people are basically good by nature. He said you will usually get what you expect from people so expect the best. Trust others first if you want to be trusted. Respect others until they give you a reason not to trust them. If you want help, help others. If you want to be loved, love yourself and love others.
Does this sound familiar? Maybe you heard it this way: Treat others the way you want to be treated, or “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you”. Do you remember who gave us this “golden rule”? Yes, it was Jesus.
So here is a suggestion: try living this way and see what happens:
Smile first, say hello first, trust people, respect people, always say thank you, help people, be understanding and accepting of people, love life and love people.
I predict that all of the above will came back to you. Isn’t that a happy, positively uplifting thought?
Have a really wonderful week.
Peace,
Terry

“… then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in

Philippians 2:2-4 NIV

Is My Child Ready For Kindergarten?

How do I know if my child is ready to start school?
What does my child need to know?
What is kindergarten testing?
What can I do to help better prepare my child? 
welcome to kindergarten
 
A non-branded, community service event hosted by Emmanuel Christian School. The information that will be presented is meant to help parents of 4-5 year olds determine if their child is ready to begin as well as to help parents better prepare their children to start school.  From our experience, the students who aren’t quite ready have a much harder time adjusting and excelling in the classroom, which can follow them throughout their school years.  Taking time with a young child to make sure they feel confident when they start kindergarten is critically important to the student’s success in their first year and will create a foundational attitude toward school and learning as a result.

 
Date: Monday, March 2nd, 2015
Time: 6:30pm
Location: Emmanuel Christian School, 4607 Laskey Road, Toledo, Ohio 43623
 
 
Join us for this FREE community event. Get valuable information that will help you and your student be prepared for kindergarten!  Please share this information throughout your network and organization. Childcare will be provided.
