Missed Out

Before the end of the Twentieth Century, I read an article about 100 things you should do. 

I completed all but three. I watched only the first of the “Godfather” trilogies.

 I can only stand so much violence. 

I haven’t swum with dolphins. 

I did take up snorkeling to get a different view of the world below the water’s surface. 

There had been chances but I opted out of the petting part much less getting in the dolphin’s 

space.

Lastly, I have never driven a convertible. 

Technically it said to drive a convertible down the coast. 

If you know me, I drive the coast from one end to the other. 

I have ridden in a red convertible but it was on the interstate. 

That may be the one thing that I try to complete before this decade is over. 

Have a better chance of doing that I think.

Wonder what else I have missed?

Savor It!

Savor It!

Each day is a gift from God. Enjoy it.

Try this:

Invite some friends as few as 3 as many as you can accommodate.

Take turns bringing a dish- something you want to try or a tried and true recipe.

Taste it, savor it, enjoy it.

Enjoy the companionship of friends or if a bigger group, make new friends.

 

Make a game where each person puts a gratitude on a slip of paper and displays it on the back.

Of course you have to have someone put it on the back but you can see what the person is grateful for

without staring at the tag on the front. It can be disconcerting if you don’t make eye contact.

Or make it a prayer request. You can find someone with a similar need and share support.

Keep it simple. One dish to savor what you are savoring is friendship.

 

I think keeping a gratitude journal is a good idea but how about a Prayer Journal?

At the top of the page write a prayer- be specific. You can add a date if you like.

Each day pray with that request in mind.

When God answers the request, write it down. Not only the date but how it was answered.

Feeling down, go back and read your answered prayers.

 

Want to combine? Put the prayer request at the top and

use the bottom half of the page for listing amazing things that happened to you that day.
