Choices

I'm not so good at keeping up with this. Everyday is a choice, really. You choose what to do and when. What will you do this morning, this afternoon, this evening? Who will receive your time and how much of it? Who or what will suffer and not receive your time? Choose what's worth choosing. Some things just aren't worth it, you should know by now what is worth it and what isn't worth it. What will affect you tomorrow or next week or next year? What won't affect you at all? Think about it, before you choose what to do today.

The Easy Life

Ah, the easy life. Easy street. What a great place to be? Are you there? I know I'm not. Everyday is a challenge, everyday is a work in progress. It's never easy, but it's at least always interesting. It keeps us on our toes for sure. Life can be easy if we let it be. Let the worries and stress of each day roll off your shoulders and move forward. Move ahead of your difficult situations and stay in front of them. Don't get behind it and let it slow you down or hinder you. Samson had his eyes gouged out and was put to work as a slave. But he got ahead of that situation and found the strength one more time to defeat the Philistines. Joseph was in a cistern, sold as a slave, promoted in Egypt, sent back to prison and finally promoted again. If he had wallowed in his difficult situation he would still be a slave in Egypt. Get out ahead of your difficult situation and you manage it rather than it managing you. You give direction to your life, not your situation.

Go!

Always a Reason to PRAISE!

Well, here I am in the blogosphere. Thought I would try it out. I mean, why not? Everyone else is doing it right, so it must be good. Or so they say.

Today's Thought:

God never leaves us without a reason to praise Him. When you're sick, you're still alive, no matter how sick you are. When you're broke, He still puts food in your mouth. No matter what, if you stop and think about it long enough you'll realize there is a reason to praise God.

Love you all and God Bless!
