The story...
These are my first ten thoughts regarding what I think a good day might find me doing:
- Trusting in God's will and His provision
- Living in present reality
- Engaging in the world
- Eating, exercising, working and sleeping well
- Loving and being loved
- Imagining the good future
- Resting peacefully
- Laughing with friends
- Learning something new
- Being true to who I am in Christ
What ten things 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 in
- Change of plans
- Suffering - me or those I care for
Just for today...
