June 26th - What does a good day look like?

The story...

Ten thoughts regarding what a good day may find me doing:

  • Trusting in God's will and provision
  • Living in the present reality
  • Engaging in life
  • Eating, exercising, working and sleeping well
  • Loving and receiving love
  • Imagining the good future
  • Resting peacefully
  • Laughing with friends
  • Learning something new
  • Being true to who I am in Christ

Ten things that might happen to derail my plans for a good day:

  • Financial loss
  • Criticism from someone I respect
  • Rejection
  • Laziness
  • Focus on myself and attempts to please me
  • Efforts to try to fit in or be like the group
  • No or nonchalant prayer
  • Forced to perform a role that I'm not capable within
  • Change of plans
  • Suffering - me or those I care for


The only church in town would teach people to trust in God's revealed truth about who we are, what we might expect, how God has provided for us, and how we might find peace in all life circumstances.  (Phil. 4:11-13)

Just for today...

"It's as if I don't know how to handle happiness, so I start searching for difficulties to draw on."   Hope for Today (p. 178)

"I will not allow old resentments to drag me down any longer.  I am building a better and more loving life today."   Courage to Change (p. 178)

"Storms a brewing; Sun'll shine - Son's a growin; Still I whine."   Am I a Poet?
