I am grateful to have friends and family with whom I share this journey. One of them shared a part of their story with me today, and reminded me of some things I've written here pretty recently. As they did so, I realized that I had already forgotten to implement that particular piece into my own life! How shocking and humbling to see how quickly I can forget! I decided to look to see what the Bible had to say about forgetting and came across this verse: "But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." Hebrews 13:16.
To do good and to communicate - this is indeed a sacrifice at times. There may be things going on in my life that tempt me to focus on myself and to forget my priorities. This is a good reminder. In this particular case, my forgetfulness started with my choosing not to blog
yesterday. Now sometimes, I am led to set the blogging aside for one
reason or another, but that was not the case yesterday. I simply had
things to do and chose not to take the time to communicate. This led me down the slippery slope of putting my own will first - and led to some real discouragement this morning.
Father, I am so grateful that someone DID offer the sacrifice of communication this morning! Their willingness to share has changed the course of my day and put me back on track. Thank you, Father, for placing such people in my life and for using them to speak to me! I ask your blessing on them in a special way this day. I also ask that you guide my own thoughts and actions; may they be in accordance with your will. And may I REMEMBER what you're teaching me and put it into practice! Thank you, Father! Amen.

This blog is simply a sharing of my "daily bread" - my daily walk with God. If something I've said has touched your heart, or sparked a new thought, I'd love to hear from you.
