About Weekly Teacher Tips
This newsletter is brought to you by teach-nology.com, the online teacher resource center.

If you are a retired school personnel within the Longview/Gregg County area, you are invited to become a member of our local unit of TRTA. Our mission is to promote the professional, economic, intellectual, social, and physical well-being of our members. We encourage volunteer opportunities in the community and provide advocacy for improved retirement benefits for ALL public and higher education retirees. TRTA is our voice and it is our responsibility to be involved in making sure that our concerns are heard. Our meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at Johnny Cace's Seafood and Steakhouse at 11:30 September through May of each year. It is our goal to protect our retirement and healthcare and because of wide support, TRTA is active in Austin working for better benefits for ALL retired school personnel. NUMBERS COUNT, so please join us! You can mail a check payable to L/GC RTA for $30 to Treasurer, Betty Lorenz...inbox me or an officer for her address, please. If you choose to use payroll deduction for state dues from TRS of Texas you will only pay the local dues to Betty in the amount of $5. TRS sends that form to you in the mail. Please pass this information along to anyone you know who is a retired school personnel who may not be on Facebook! Thanks.

The Front Row Poem

Life is a theater so invite your audiences carefully. Not everyone is holy enough and healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships and family!
Everyone can't be in your FRONT ROW.

Observe the relationships around you.
Pay attention to: Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are just going downhill?

When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?
Everyone can't be in your FRONT ROW.

The more you seek God and the things of God, the more you seek quality, the more you seek not just the hand of God but the face of God, the more you seek things honorable, the more you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
Everyone can't be in your FRONT ROW.

You cannot change the people around you, but you can change the people you are around! Ask God for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the FRONT ROW of your life.

Remember that FRONT ROW seats are for special and deserving people and those who sit in your FRONT ROW should be chosen carefully.
Everyone can't be in your FRONT ROW!
