Quick pick-me-up

Too often, I opt for the Snickers or the latte when what I really need is a sound bite from God’s Word. Open the Bible to Psalm 119 and take a bite, chew on it for awhile and be refreshed. Or how about the book of Proverbs. Some of those will nail you faster than a fly is attracted to a drop of honey left on the countertop.

Be diligent with your honor. Live true to yourself. Pursue your highest ideals and your best dreams. Honor others; treat people with kindness and integrity. Keep your word. Live your life knowing the small things count. Now that is a step toward the abundant life of John 10:10. When you honor yourself by your thoughts, choices, and actions, you honor God as well. Today is the day to live with honor. Why wait? Done 21 days in a row and it becomes first response.

To me the highest thing after God is my honor. Ludwig Van Beethoven.

So for a pick-me-up that lasts
Forego the caffeine blasts;
Go for strength and power,
Sufficient for any hour.

Hugs around,
Mimi
