— As we come to the close of March and wrap up the first quarter in just a few days, I want to take a moment to say thank you for the hard work, perseverance, and determination each of you has shown.
What a difference a month can make. The weather has improved, business has picked up, and we’ve seen strong momentum begin to build across the company. Sales have increased, and it looks like we are going to come collectively very close to hitting our charge goals for the quarter. That is a tremendous accomplishment, especially considering that not long ago it seemed nearly impossible. Great work, team.
This is a great reminder that progress often comes after persistence. When conditions are tough, it can be easy to get discouraged or to focus on everything working against us. But this month has shown what can happen when a team keeps pushing, stays focused, and refuses to let temporary challenges define the outcome.
For the devotional thought this month, I want to share a lesson from Caleb in Numbers. This fits perfectly with the challenges we’ve faced this quarter. When others saw obstacles and reasons why something could not be done, Caleb responded with faith, confidence, and a different spirit. He said, “Let us go up at once and take possession... for we are well able to overcome it.” That mindset stands out. The difference was not in the challenge itself, but in the attitude toward it.
That is a powerful message and reminds us of a fundamental truth: Attitude matters. A positive, faith-filled attitude does not ignore challenges, but it does help us face them with courage, confidence, and determination. It helps us lead better, work better, and encourage those around us. As we head into April and the beginning of the second quarter, let’s be intentional about bringing a positive attitude to our jobs, our teams, and our customers each day. Positivity is contagious, and when each of us shows up ready to encourage others and focus on solutions, it makes anything possible!
I’m proud of the way this team has responded this month. Let’s finish the quarter strong and carry this momentum forward into a great spring season. As Easter approaches, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter and take time to remember the hope we have and the gift we have been given through Jesus’ sacrifice for us.
Thank you for all you do.
My Best,
