Good Morning All,
Ever get up in the morning and feel like going back to bed…and just sleeping the day away? The fact of the matter is many people have those kind of days, every day. But there is hope and there is a reason we have each day to live. Remember, this is the day the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Even though today may feel like it is just another day, everything you do today will have an effect on those around you as well as those that follow you (Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.). The choices we make today, will not carry throughout our life, but also throughout the lives of those around us. I remember a story about a doctor who made a similar choice one night:
In a remote district of Wales a baby boy lay dangerously ill. The widowed mother walked five miles in the night and through drenching rain to get a doctor. The doctor hesitated about making the trip. “Would it pay?” he questioned. He would receive no money, and, besides, if the child’s life were saved, he would, no doubt, become only a poor laborer. But love for humanity and professional duty conquered, and the little life was saved. Years after, when this same child—Lloyd George—became Prime Minister of England, the doctor said: “I never dreamed that in saving the life of that child on the farm hearth, I was saving the life of the greatest man in Wales.”
Approach today, in a way to seek out to be a blessing to someone in your life. If each one of us would look at trying to be blessing to someone else, think about how things would change. Just maybe, the person you reach today, may reach a thousand tomorrow.
Have a wonderful day.
Til the Shout,
