"How to Enjoy the People in Your Life"- How to Enjoy the Rest of Your Life"- Part 1

This message stresses that if your relationships aren’t happy, then your life isn’t happy. Picture all your relationships in your mind; pick 2 and focus on them as you listen to this sermon.
There are 4 ways to enjoy the people in your life:
1.Remember the good things, forget the rest. Don’t hold grudges.
2.Practice positive praying by praying specifically FOR them not AT them.
3.Be patient with their progress, how far they’ve come.
4.Love them from the heart, not the mind it asks, “How does this affect me?”

Life is too short not to enjoy the people in it.
