Yes, in spite of all the challenges and setbacks in 2020,  we do have many blessings to count. Chuck Swindoll mentioned on the radio this morning that all of us who are listening to his talk, live in the top 8% of the blessed people of the world regardless of our current challenges. Here are some reminders as we take 2021 one day at a time:

  • Look to the future.  The greatest destroyer of a bright future is DWELLING on the past.

  • Did we not all get a reminder that “Life at its best is fragile and short?”

  • It is very important how you start out your day. Always have a quiet time.  Devotion and prayer time of giving thanks and leaving the outcome of the day in His hands.  A recent TV ad from a gas company said, “When you are off to a better start you will have a Better day”. So true.

  • One of our biggest challenges this year that will get us into the most trouble is the words we speak.  As one of my office signs says, “Bark less and Wag More”. “Set a guard O Lord over my mouth, keep watch over the door of my lips.” Psalm 141:2 

  • A good reminder just when you thing you did it all. An elephant and a mouse cross over the bridge and the mouse says to the elephant, we sure did shake that bridge didn’t we.

  • Big God, Big Dream, Big Community.

SONG of the Day:  Take one breath and then take another, take one step and then take another….

VERSE for the Day : “Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so that we may sing for JOY to the end of our lives.”  Psalm 90:14

TAKEAWAY:  Let me be a little kinder, let me be a little blinder to the faults of those around me, let me praise a little more.
