For Today: Reflect, Give Thanks, Take Action

“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Ps 118:24

For today, just reflect on your life as it is. Reflect on the moment, all that you have, the people you love. Reflection on gratitude will lift your mood and heal your thoughts.

Though there are trying times, there is still always something good to be found, if we look; reasons to be thankful and no matter the circumstance, to rejoice and be glad.

Ask yourself these questions today and every day:

For what are you grateful today?
Whom do you appreciate in your life?
In what ways big or small has God touched your life today?

Actions to take:

Prayerful thanks
Find little ways to show those you love your appreciation (gifts, notes, cards, phone calls, text a smiley, running errands, prepare a nice dinner, do someone’s laundry)
Journal the inspiration and guidance you have received.

Taking a moment each day to reflect, give thanks and take action will help to fill your day with joy as well as demonstrate that joy and help you to share it with others.

Is it any wonder that the memory of a mother’s soft coo can so strongly calm and send us to the kitchen for a cup of coco or that the memory of a scolding can set us trembling? Words are positive, negative or neutral; neutral words have little effect but words of a positive or negative nature can lift up and inspire or tear down and destroy. In a sense, they are our strongest power and thus the power of words move with us across time. St. Catherine Christine de Pisan Whether I am reading the Bible or an ancient manuscript crafted out a thousand or more years ago by isolated monks on some remote island or a contemporary twentieth century author who has now passed, it never ceases to amaze me that I get to hear their thoughts acr...
