Spoiled - March 28, 2006

Thought for the Day
When you participate in the forums and chat, you're not just typing a nice note, you're coming into a new life. I'm always impressed by the change I see in people after they've been in really participating for a while. I sometimes take an inventory of myself, to see whether I have changed, and if so, in what way. Before I really started engaging with others, I was very selfish. I wanted my own way in every thing. I don't believe I ever grew up. When things went wrong, I sulked like a spoiled child. Am I still all get and no give?

Meditation for the Day
There are two things that we must have if we are going to change our way of life. One is faith, the confidence in things unseen, the fundamental goodness and purpose in the universe. The other is obedience: that is, living according to our faith, living each day as we believe that God wants us to live, with gratitude, humility, honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love. Faith and obedience, these two, will give us all the strength we need to overcome temptation and to live a new and more abundant life.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may have more faith and obedience. I pray that I may live a more abundant life as a result of these things.

Thanks for such inspirational words. I do check myself occasionally just to remember where I came from and where I want to be.
