Good morning people created to love life

I currently have two small phrases as my screen saver. They are there to prompt me regularly and I feel to share them with you today.

The first is simple “Make Choices”. I realise it is too easy to live by feelings. It’s too easy to be stuck in a place and feel there is no way out. It’s too easy to wait for something to happen or change. Sometimes I just need to make choices. If things are not going too well, I can still make choices. If my feelings are down, I can still make choices. If others are negative around me, I can still make choices. If something is unfair, I can still make choices. Maybe it’s a good idea to insert another little word in between these two. Maybe today our focus should be ‘Make Wise Choices’.

The second is only one word and that is ‘Enjoy’. Sometimes I simply need to look on the bright side. Sometimes I need to be the initiator of fun. Sometimes I am waiting for the perfect environment but I’m fast discovering that it either doesn’t exist or that life doesn’t enable us to stay in that environment too long. I want to enjoy life. I want others to enjoy life around me. I want to be a source of joy and guess what? I can and you can. We can ‘Make Choices’ today that are wise and beneficial and one of these is to simply ‘Enjoy’.

Deuteronomy 16:11a Enjoy yourselves in the presence of the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 Be joyful always

Don’t wait for change; be the change.
