Bishop Lincoln C. Haughton, III, Senior Pastor and Chief Executive Officer

Deacon James R. Haughton, Jr., Chief Operating Officer & Pastor of Music & Fine Arts

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.
