Everyday.......

My Thought for this Day.......There is so much beauty in this world, so much pain, so much joy, so much fear, so much of so much. Every day we must face our 'so much'. Every day we must decide on our reaction. Every day we must walk the fire or the meadow. Every day we must be. And with our hands held high, or our heads bowed low, we breath deeply and we set about the art of life.

Value........

My Thought for this Day.......When you slam the door on someone or something from your past, or your present, make sure you are certain before you lock it and throw away the key. Life has a funny way of circling back, and those thing and people suddenly deemed unimportant or unnecessary frequently become the priceless treasures they were when you cherished them. it also has a distinct way of bringing to light those people whom you deemed unimportant yesterday. Don't cut bait and fish unless you are sure you can face the Jaws of life without the people on whom you depend. Words can not be taken back, actions can not be reversed, and loyalty can not be reestablished with a blink of an eye, flick of a hand, nor an empty apology. Friendships have beating hearts that can be bruised and eventually broken. Honor your life by honoring theirs. When you look through a glass darkly, you see a shadowed world which distorts reality. Get out you polisher and look again. Then, and only then, decide upon actions that are life changers. Value your tribe. They are more precious than gold.

Battle.......

My Thought for this Day.....Some days we have to fight for someone else. We have to be their battalion leader, their CEO, their champion. We go into full armor, and we become a warrior. Our eyes are outward, not inward. Our reward is their gold, not ours. We fight for them because they cannot, at this moment, do battle. This is our duty. And in this war, we are shrewd, and capable and infallible. And we know, without a doubt, that if needed, any time, they would do the same for us. Consider the blessing of this. And then, be mighty.

Static......

My Thought for this Day........If the Song of your Soul has static, turn the dial just a little. Life is better with a clear, strong song.

Bucket List.....

My Thought for this Day.....These days everyone has a Bucket List. I just have one thing on mine. "Live every day with gratefulness, generosity and love." The End.

Wait........

My Thought for the Day.......Among the sadness, and difficulty, and stress of life.....there are always rosebuds waiting to open. Wait upon the Lord for He is good.

Now........

My Thought for this Day......Sometimes I think we live our lives at a perpetual stoplight waiting for the red to turn to green. We lose the now. And the now is our gift to be opened, not to be left on a shelf gathering dust, as if it is unworthy. The now may be all we have.
