My Prayer For "My Next Thirty Years"

Heavenly Father, teach me to number my days that I may gain a Heart
of Wisdom and fulfill your purpose for my life today.

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

Good morning, chores all done.  Ready to begin a new day.  I am really getting bored with this rain pattern - or maybe it is just my 'life' pattern.  I need to be refreshed, but all I can see is rain.  I need to get the 'spark' back!  (It is a beautiful morning.)

Day 1598 - Living "My Next Thirty Years" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember to look for progress, not perfection.

Today is MMM and work at the Family Store.  Teresa is off today, I will be on my own.  Just not going to get in a hurry today. 

Yesterday was a good day.  I survived and so did everyone around me!

Tomorrow is Wednesday - at work we spend Monday and Tuesday getting ready for Wednesday; and Thursday and Friday cleaning up after Wednesday. 

GUIDELINE & GUARDRAILS

Psalm 114:7,8 - Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of  Jacob; who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Proverbs 23:4 - Labour not to be rich:  cease from thine own wisdom.  Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?  for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Bible Pathways (reading thru the Bible once more in 1 - 4) - Amos 6 - Obadiah 1

Turning Points (with David Jeremiah) - "Prayer Is for Times of Trouble"  (So when they heard that, they praised their voice to God with one accord... - Acts 4:24a)  God hears foxhole prayers too.  If you are in a foxhole today, call upon God.  Even if you have never called on him before today is a good day to begin - and it is never a good day to give up - keep praying.

MMM - just some thoughts:  (1) You cannot effect a change in others if others can not detect a change in you.  (2) I would rather give it away than to lose it in the way.  You can never lose what you give.  (3) I never realized that the dark counterbalance of my attitude was the constant feeling that I did not "belong."  What a wonderful awakening for me it has been to realize that, if human being were doing the best they could, then so was I!  I belong!

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike
