It is natural to want to be successful. Suc-
cess, however, is NOT determined by a col-
lection of “things” and “stuff.” Rather, it is
more important to examine how we are
making maximum efficient, effective, and
timely use of the gifts and talents that God
has given us AND that we are concerned
with blessing others through good works
and bringing more glory to God.
We should also apply these principles to the
kingdom of heaven. There is no failure in
God. God is ALWAYS watching how we
manage the resources with which He has
entrusted us. EVERYTHING we have be-
longs to God. If we take care of what we
are given...we will be given more.
If we trash what we are given, we will not
be given more.
God expects us to efficiently use the gifts
and talents which He has given us. In Mat-
thew 25, a man who was given five talents
was given five MORE talents for using the
first five well! The man who was given two
talents used them well and was given two
MORE talents!
The man who was given one talent did NOT
use it well. He did NOTHING with the tal-
ent GOD had given him. His talent was
taken from him and given to another. He
was also called “wicked” and “slothful” by
the Lord Jesus Christ!
Wickedness is mismanagement.
God gives more to those who are able to
bear more. However, it is important that the
man with two talents not begrudge or envy
the man with five talents. Both were told
“well done” by the Lord and to “enter into
the joys of the Lord.”
We all will have to give an account for how
we used the resources the Lord gave us.
Tithing gives us the opportunity to train our-
selves with better financial management.
Tithing requires accountability, discipline,
honesty, diligence, faith, and trustworthi-
ness. ALL of these aspects affect proper
management and stewardship. Effective
management determines efficient use of re-
sources.
As believers, we do not live for “stuff.” We
live to display the love of God. We know
what is most important. Faith without
works is dead. We should be giving of our
talent and our gifts to encourage and build
up others. We should ADD VALUE to our
circumstances and environment.
Matthew 25 reminds us that we are all fear-
fully and wonderfully made. It is not
enough to do nothing in life. We should
ALL be busy doing something for the Lord.
While we are able to breathe and to walk,
we should be adding value to every mo-
ment.
We add value to others through the peace,
joy, and encouragement we bring to their
lives. The confidence and hope that we
have been given in Christ Jesus, we want
others to know as well. Because of what
God allows us to endure and experience, we
are better able to pull OTHERS from the
holes which we were once in ourselves.
We understand that no matter what comes
against us, since God is FOR us, He is
MORE than the whole world against us.
We know that when the battle is over, we
shall STILL be standing. Success to the
believer is guaranteed!

STRESS MANAGEMENT IDEAS
1. Always keep your words soft and sweet just in case you have to eat them.
2. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
3. Drive carefully—it’s not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
4. If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
5. If you loan someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
6. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
7. Never buy a car you can’t push.
8. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
9. Since it is the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late!
10. The second mouse gets the cheese.
11. When everything is coming your way you’re in the wrong lane!
12. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
13. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
14. Save the Earth! It is the only planet with chocolate!

The most visited sit devoted to children’s health and development
Talking to Your Child About Diabetes
If your child has been diagnosed with
type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you may feel
shocked, sad, or even angry or guilty at
first—feelings that are perfectly normal.
But the more you learn about diabetes,
the less anxious and better prepared
you’ll be to talk about it with your child.
Getting Started
Be sure to talk to your child in an age-
appropriate way and to always tell the
truth. Don’t be put off by your child’s
questions—answering them can help you
learn more about diabetes, too. Encour-
age your child to talk about it openly
Children who’ve been diagnosed with
diabetes may feel that they’ve done
something wrong to have caused the
disease. It is important for parents to
emphasize that children don’t do any-
thing wrong to get diabetes.
Make sure your child knows that diabetes
is not going away, and that it is OK to
feel sad or upset about having it. Discuss
the diagnosis with your other children,
who may be jealous of the extra attention
their sibling is getting or concerned about
developing diabetes themselves.
Sending the Right Message
The words you use can send a powerful
message about diabetes—and your
child’s role in managing it. Be positive.
Emphasize that together you can get dia-
betes under control. Avoid using terms
like “cheating” and “being bad” if your
child veers from the management plan.
Instead, help your child understand the
relationships between eating and exercise
and how they affect blood sugar levels.
Because children look to their parents for
guidance, how you deal with diabetes can
directly affect how your child communi-
cates with you about it. If you’re stressed
out about diabetes, chances are your
child will be, too. For example getting
upset about a high blood sugar level may
make it likely that your child will not be
honest about future blood sugar readings
It is also hard to expect children with
diabetes to limit sugary treats or get regu-
lar exercise if siblings and parents don’t
do the same. Have a family discussion
about why living a healthy lifestyle is
important for everyone—not just people
with diabetes. By including all family
members in meal planning and other ac-
tivities, your child won’t feel like an out-
sider or that he or she is somehow being
punished for having diabetes.
Infants/Toddlers Diabetes Discussion
This group does n ot understand why
they need to have shots or get their fin-
gers or toes poked. To help, try to make
blood sugar testing and giving insulin
part of their daily routine—like a nap or
diaper change. Perform diabetes care
quickly, gently, in a soothing manner and
with calming words afterward.
Preschooler Diabetes Discussion
Preschoolers still rely on parents for their
diabetes care. Explain diabetes-related
tasks in simple terms. Allow the child to
have some control by telling which finger
to use or where they want their injection.
Grade/Middle School Discussions
These groups should be learning how to
take on some of their care, but still need
parental involvement. Be supportive, not
overly protective, as your child gradually
takes on self-care responsibilities. They
may be sensitive about seeming different
from their peers. Give encouragement
and discuss how responsibility helps
them to participate in events.
Teen Diabetes Discussion
Teens may make poor decisions regard-
ing their diabetes care because of peer
pressure. It is important to talk to them
about other issues such as drugs and sex
in addition to their diabetes health. Ex-
press your concerns in a caring manner.
