Dear TKA Family,
A lot has happened in my life that has contributed to where I am today. I’ve benefitted from mistakes, adversity, criticism, and even ridicule. I’ve also benefitted from the support, prayers, and encouragement of a lot of people, many of whom are reading this message today. I’m grateful for that encouragement, but that’s not where I’ve learned life’s greatest lessons.
Don’t stop the encouragement and prayers, though. It gives us strength to deal with adversity.
“Your silent thoughts are like the roots of a plant. They remain hidden in the dark recesses of the earth, but from them stems the whole plant—its life and form, its strength and beauty. From them and through them the plant lives and dies. So, too, your thoughts, although hidden, are your real, vital force.” – Lawrence G. Lovasi
