Something to think about going into the new year…

Proverbs 27:21 says: As the fining pot for silver and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

As a furnace is heated, the dross from the alloy begins to rise to the surface, separating itself from the pure metal. With each new level of heat intensity, more and more dross rises to the surface to be removed by the master artisan.

So it is with praise. As our spirits are ignited by the fire of God, sin that has eluded consciousness is brought to the surface in order that we may confess it and God, the Master Artisan, may remove it. What a blessing that it can be removed and the result is purification in Christ.

Copied…but ooooh so powerful and true.
Please take the short few moments to actually read this thing.

If you’ve never owned a business before, it’s like driving a big truck. There are those who will jump right in front of you and expect you to slow way down on a dime, when you have no ability to control the tonage of weight you are hauling. They have never had to haul a big load so they have NO clue what it takes to slow down.

I think everyone should have to drive a truck with a full load to see what it takes. Also, I think everyone should try owning a business to see how much the government is against the small business owner and how incredibly hard it is to earn your own money AND try to keep it from leaving your hands via taxes, bills, people suing you, and on and on and on.

💚Owning a business is the same. Check this out and please take it to heart……..

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance.

You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All while being a puppy parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.

It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.

Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

And know that 2022 prices are not 2023 prices. They are POST BIDEN PRICES!!

Please support small business! 💚

People do not CAUSE you to be the way you are. They simply reveal WHO you are, by HOW you respond.

Be sure of one thing...life can be wasted.
The waste lies in the love we have but never give; in the wasted talents and abilities we have but never use. The "waste" is a small-minded, selfish insecurity which will risk nothing!
Life can be wasted because we fail to realize that WE, YOU AND I, all possess a unique life experience that NO ONE else can live. It's ours and ours alone!!
