Choices- how they affect our lives for the positive or the negative depending on the choices, made. Whether they be big choices or just our small everyday choices. They will be put together to make a whole. Make them wisely. Think beyond self when making choices. The dearest people to our hearts will be affected by the choices we make

Honesty and Integrity- How important it is. How very much a part of character it is and how it forms and shapes who we become. Live impeccably. More than just ourselves are affected by our character.

Attidude - Our response to the things that happen to us. How vital that is. Wish it would always come easy

Motivation and focus(perspective)- Life will be so much easier and our attitude will be more positive if our motivation and focus is on doing what we do to praise God and not on ourself or for our self glorification. Ask the question " Why do I want to do this or that?" Is it to glorify God or myself? If we can get the motivation right for whatever it is we want to accomplish, then it won't matter so much if things don't go as planned, which brings me to my next thought.

Trust- Trusting God is so important. When things don't work out the way we expected them to, that is when trusting God becomes a reality. This is when trust is put to the test.

Relationships- How important to our well being they are and how easy it is to mess them up and so hard to repair them. Something that needs to be cared for with much prayer and unselfishness. They are the essence of life and effect the quality of our lives. If we could only be mature and unselfish earlier.

Forgiveness- Another essential to real life and living. Impossible to forgive the really deep wounds of the spirit without the help of God's spirit. But His spirit is readily availbale and He will do the surgery when he knows we can handle it and He is the great physician who can heal. Forgiveness is the only way to live with freedom.

God's love -How big and incomprehensible. He will look beyond our faults and failures if we repent and go for change. He will continue to work with us to perfect us. He will help us dance and hold us when we hurt. Awesome love.

Heaven- What a beautiful place that will be. No burdens, No pain, Joy unspeakable, singing praises, being with those we love who have already gone ahead of us, I can't miss out on that!

These are just a few of the things going through my mind of late.
