Tim Tebow Foundation’s “Night to Shine”
If you saw some clips from this special night for “Special Needs” people, you had to be impressed, thankful and shed a few tears for the work this foundation is doing. Giving each participant personal grooming, formal attire for the night, picking them up in limousines and furnishing each with a gold crown, to attend the party of a lifetime. A big thanks to all that helped make this a success!
Some of the history of this is the “Tim Tebow Foundation has a great passion for people with special needs and in 2014 they launched ‘Night to Shine.’ The vision was simple, work with churches around the country to provide unforgettable Prom Night experience of God’s love for people with special needs.This past year, God immeasurably, more than we could have asked, provided 537 churches, from 33 denominations, in 49 states and 16 countries coming together with 150,000 volunteers to serve and celebrate 90,000 guest with special needs. Last year this foundation contributed more than $3.5 to this movement!”
With all the talk about Teacher’s pay, I found this to be fitting: “First Grade Fun Time, I will not shout in class. I will not throw things, I will not have a temper tantrum. I will be good. because I am a Teacher!” God bless our Teachers!

Begin you every day with “I get to” thinking instead of a “I have to” thought process ....I get to go to work, I get to have a busy day, or whatever it may be. We often make our opportunities stressful, but they are in fact a blessing! Every day may not be good, but there is something good in everyday!
When a bird is alive it eats ants. When a bird is dead ants eat it. One tree can be made into a million match sticks. But, only one match is needed to burn a million trees. You may be powerful today, but time is more powerful than you!
Have a blessed day and share it with others!
