Each day in your life is a gift.
Embrace each with open arms.
Look for the positive ways
You can enhance the day with your charms.
Finding a thought to focus on,
Or a word to guide your path
Can help make each day better.
Then – end it with a bubble bath!!
I begin each day with devotionals
That point me in the right direction.
Then as I walk in His will the best I can,
I try to spread His love and affection.
The “take-away” from each day’s reading
Is a way to stay the true course.
Let me share last month’s daily thoughts.

Each sunrise is an opportunity
To begin anew and make life better.
Carry the daily take-away with you
And live following Christ to the letter.
He led the way with His perfect life,
Showing us how to love one another.
He didn’t promise a bed of roses,
Didn’t create puppets who would smother
The good in each day or be down-trodden.
God created us to be strong and tenacious.
Gave us a heart we could stretch and broaden.
So, from sun up to sun down each day,
Embrace the opportunities you are given
To reach out in love and compassion
And improve the place where you are livin’
What “Take-Away” speaks to you today?
What can you embrace with open arms?
What road beckons you to drive in and enter
A place that needs your love and charms?
Embrace each day as a new beginning –
A time to see what you can do
To make the world a better place,
And encourage those loved ones close to you.
How will you do that, my friend?
What can you do to brighten the corner where you are?
My mom brightened her corner…
That was one of the original “selfies” –
(around 1989)
Long before the word was coined
with the use of our cell phones!
Such a character!!
I co-hosted fellowship after worship service today.
Baked yummy, moist, gooey, chewy chocolate cupcakes…
Mmmmm…
What will you do to brighten the corner where you are?
Embrace Each Day…
Each is a new opportunity!
See ya tomorrow (God willing) –
Love,
JanBeek

Jan, your list of take-aways is a blessing to share. #20 especially reaches out me . . . reminds me of patience with prayer.
Thank you, {{{Richard}}}. I have a friend who warns me never to ray for patience because then God will give you something you need to be patient about. But, I think we ALWAYS are in need of patience!
Jan, thanks for sharing back an inspiring thought. I agree with you!
