Love the sound of this one. Agree every compliment should be treasured, and every step celebrated.

This sounds really helpful. I’m always keen to find ways to make the best use of time. And I love what your husband said to you!

i love learning new ways to manage my time well. I often use the 5 minute hack. It’s surprising how much I can get done in that small time frame. i love the point that your future self understands the value of time. That’s a great point to consider.

Lisa, I love books about time management because I need help!

Love the ideas of remembering minutes matter and the compliment sandwich idea!

Lisa, I love what your husband said to you!
I’ve made some books of the cards I have received from everyone over the years.
One is from all the cards hubby has given me since our courtship.

I read these cards books when needing a little encouragement ?
blessings, Jennifer

Lisa, good advice here. I have always been one to redeem every moment. My husband marvels at the way I fill even the moments waiting for potatoes to boil with something constructive. (Wiping up dirt spots from the kitchen tile floor…LOL)
But seriously, I have developed a habit of simply taking a breath, and asking the Lord what I can do in that moment. Sometimes the answer is simply to “be”, while at other times I might text encouragement to a friend or usher a prayer up for someone in need.
“Redeeming the time” is my motto!

Thank you for your excellent recommendations, Miss Lisa. Just ordered from library (b/c my book collection overfloweth)! I opened it on Amazon, and love the Thoreau quote in the beginning. Sobering. I was a ton of time on FB and useless sidetracks and Net searches. Ugh. I have long kept a compliment folder (w/ letters and E-couragement of the electronically transmitted sort). It’s so encouraging to reread. BUT I also make a point to encourage…as in cards, letters, emails, requests to speak to supervisors on a positive note about a stellar employee, etc. You’d be surprised how that makes everyone’s day). And may I compliment you on all the hard work you do to keep us informed, enlightened, challenged, encouraged, and sometimes, entertained. I appreciate you in so many ways! You have a wonerful husband as well!

Thanks for E-VERYTHING!

“Every opportunity deserves a yes. Give it three days to change to a no or not.” This quote caught my spirit today. Then Doug Addison’s word for today was “Watch for something sudden that will open new opportunities.” I love it when God uses words from different sources to bring a message.
