Your Gift From God Is Your Gift

On Saturday I had an opportunity to attend an event at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden; it was an invitation from my friend and fellow Co-Marketing Master and business owner, Cathy E. Smith.

Cathy had invited me to attend her church to listen to Bishop TD Jakes present his annual Leadership Training which was free and open to the general public.

As it was my first time attending an event at this church and not knowing what to expect, I think I overdressed however, I was comfortable nevertheless.

First Baptist Church of Glenarden is a Mega Church, mine, Mt. Pisgah U.A.M.E in Middletown is a small country church so I was amazed at the enormity of the building as well as the amenities and do hope to visit again for a regular Sunday Service.

Your Gift from God is Your Gift

Bishop TD Jake’s spoke for approximately 90 minutes to a very and diverse large crowd, however, his message was personal to many as he hit upon many important points that resignated to not only business owners but to singles and married couples as well.

Bishop TD Jakes is down to earth and he shared many funny antedotes, including some about his life and wife with each story being very relatable to the more than 4000+ in attendance.

Whether you are a new business owner or one that has been in business for many years change can be un-neverving. So as we enter into a new year with renewed optimism and opportunities remember that, “YOUR Gift From God is YOUR Gift” and comparing yourself to others is not wise.
