Golden or Gray?
Just reflecting today – wondering why some of my days feel golden and some of them feel more gray…….obviously, if I’m tired or hungry or just got a speeding ticket, my day is affected, but I know there are other foundational things that make a difference too. As I think about this, here are some of the things that color my life on any given day!
Me. Living A Gray Life
-Insisting on doing what I want when I want
-Self-focused
-Caring about myself most of all
-Allowing my emotions to dictate my behavior
-Relying on my cognitive abilities
-Trusting my efforts and talents to get things done
-Self-reliant
Me. Living a Golden Life
-Telling God my wants, without insisting
-Others-focused
-Genuinely caring for, and serving people
-Asking God’s help to manage my emotions
-Allowing the Bible to shape my thinking
-Inviting the Holy Spirit to work through my efforts and talents
-Asking God and others for help
There are probably lots more….tons more. There’s never a day I don’t need God’s help, care, comfort and guidance and that’s a good thing! You too?!
