Good Morning,
Today the writing is concerned with the importance of making time to spend time with God on a daily basis. Seems like we think we are too busy a lot of the time. We need to build new habits. Mary wrote a prayer nd here are her words, "Thank You, Lord, for graciously and gently leading me back to You. I realize that no matter what my good intentions are, I cannot do the important things on my own.
Time to start a new habit of spending time with God every day!
Blessings
Mary

Thank You, Lord, for graciously and gently leading me back to You. I realize that no matter what my good intentions are, I cannot do the important things on my own. I choose to believe that I can trust You to take care of everything in Your time and Your way.

"Woke Up Late"
Written by Mary M. Wilkins
Rushing around this morning I was late getting out the door. Halfway through the day I stopped to ask myself and the Lord why I was so out of sorts. Immediately the thought came to me, “You didn’t take time with Me.”
I can’t even say I sit down with a hot cup and my Bible. But I usually keep up a conversation with the Lord as I brush my teeth and prepare for the day. I pray over my loved ones and my work. I bring up any issue that is unsettled and ask Him for wisdom. For the last few weeks I have been busy and distracted. As I look back I can recognize the Holy Spirit’s nudging. As I sat down to check email and read the news I had the thought I should step away and talk to the Lord first. However, they can’t function? Well, I was feeling like that spiritually. I had gone so long without drinking from His fountain that I wasn’t just thirsty and parched but also dizzy and confused. The good news about this is I didn’t have to stay that way.
5-6 Open up before GOD, keep nothing back;
He'll do whatever needs to be done:
He'll validate your life in the clear light of day
and stamp you with approval at high noon.
7 Quiet down before GOD,
be prayerful before him.
Don't bother with those who climb the ladder,
who elbow their way to the top.
8-9 Bridle your anger, trash your wrath,
cool your pipes—it only makes things worse.
Before long the crooks will be bankrupt;
Thank You, Lord, for graciously and gently leading me back to You. I realize that no matter what my good intentions are, I cannot do the important things on my own. I choose to believe that I can trust You to take care of everything in Your time and Your way.
In Jesus name, amen.

This reminds me of the saying,
"What goes around comes around."
"What goes around comes around."
or the Golden Rule
"Do unto others......."
