Today is a Blessing

Life is what we make it. We have heard this saying for years, yet do we make it all it can be? What personal routines do you go through that set you on the path of a good day? I have a family member who gets up early to run and exercise daily...what are you doing to make the most of what God has given you? Beginning our day with life saving routines such as daily exercise keeps the body strong and fit, but what are we doing to keep the soul healthy. It is important to give time for our spiritual well being…Do we thank the Lord for the gifts of another day? Practicing prayer and quiet time with our Lord is a daily and evening exercise that also keeps us fit. Showing our love and thankfulness to God is a gift we can give back. Being grateful for what we have is expressed through our prayers and supplications and allows us to grow closer to Jesus. As I look around my world I see the beauty God gives us through friends, family and new opportunities. Many times the opportunities may not be what I welcomed however it always turned out to be a time of growth and therefore a time of gratefulness. Life seems to fly by and in a blink we have aged, our children are grown and our grandchildren are entering into new developmental stages we were not prepared for them to begin. It is at this time we keep our humor and enjoy each stage of life. Philippians 4: 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done. Let’s dance to Glory of God and Jesus Christ. Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
