Beth Jones International Speaker Beth M. Jones

Do you thank God each day for His blessings and help? In Luke 17:11-19 NKJV, Jesus encountered 10 lepers, who cried out to Him for mercy and healing. He told them to go show themselves to the priest (who would proclaim them healed and cleansed and restored to society). Only one of the lepers, a Samaritan, saw that he was cleansed and returned to thank Jesus with a loud voice.

Each day we need to thank God for what He has done, is doing, and will do. Gratitude can change your life and mine. It is like lighting a candle each morning to dispel the darkness in this world. Let's cultivate a thankful heart to God, like the leper who returned to thank and glorify Jesus.



Scriptures:

Luke 17:11-19, NKJV

Psalm 118:24

1 Samuel 12:24

1 Chronicles 16:34

Are you using your spiritual gifts, talents, and skills for God's glory and to make the maximum impact on others? In this episode, I share 10 ways that writing books has changed my life. Do you want to write (or finish writing) a book?

Quotes:

"Let the word burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper." (Ray Bradbury, WD)

"After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world." (Philip Pulman)

"Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers." (Ray Bradbury, WD)

"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never know where they'll take you." (Beatrix Potter)

"I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I don't, I would die." Isaac Asimov

Who are you accountable to in your life and in your business? Accountability and support are important. Accountability helps us to grow. One day we'll all stand before God to be accountable to Him for our lives. We also need to intentionally surround ourselves with people who can keep us accountable to help us succeed in our biz.

I'm leading a writers' Progress Pod for my writing coaches CJ and Shelley Hitz for accountability and support. The Progress Pod and software are the brainchild of Richard Ralston from New Zealand to help people take the Next Tiny Step to reach their dreams and goals faster.
