Each day as I read my Daily Guideposts
and reflect on what the message
means to me, I create a “Take-Away.”
I have a page or two on which I record them.
Here are the take-aways from July.
Which one or two resonates with you
as a “Take-away” for the month
that you can carry with you into August?

I read both
Mornings with Jesus
and
Daily Guideposts
each morning
up in my sanctuary.
Been doing it for over a decade now.
They help me plan my day
and start off on the right foot.
With the “Take-Away”
tucked in my heart,
I head down the circle staircase
with this 12 step prayer
spoken to God on my way:
Dear God,
And at that point, I am at the bottom… ready to start my day.
Thank you for the
1. love,
2. joy, and
3. peace (that are mine) –
Help me with:
4. patience,
5. kindness,
6. goodness, and
7. faithfulness (which brings blessings).
Help me with
8. gentleness, and
9. self-control.
10. Help me live humbly
with an attitude of gratitude,
and a response of
11. generosity, forgiveness,
12. obedience and integrity.
In Jesus’ name,
AMEN.
Which of the Take-Aways from June or July will you carry into August with you?
Have an Awesome month!
See ya tomorrow (God willing)
Love,

I like care for the vulnerable. I’m striving to also be vulnerable with those who care for me. 💜
A worthy calling indeed! Thank you for sharing.
