Jeff's Journal

There have been a series of "perfect days," lately.

   A perfect weather day consists of moderate temperature,

      low humidity, warm sunshine, cool nights

      and gentle breezes.

Reframe your thoughts and think

   about a perfect day spiritually.

You rise and think first about the gift of another

   day from God, the Creator.

   You take time to speak with him and listen

      by reading a portion of a Psalm or writing

      in a journal some hopes for the day.

On your list of things to do, you include:

   Forgiving an enemy.

   Telling someone you love them.

   Doing something supportive for a suffering person.

   Taking a quiet moment at midday to refocus.

   Loving someone who cannot reciprocate.

   Spending time bettering the community.

   Worshipping with your church.

   Giving your resources and time away.

   Smiling at a co-worker (and everyone else too)

   Singing a hymn under your breath

   Making a phone call to uplift someone.

   Being cheerful.

Oh, a perfect day is more than barometric pressure

   and blue sky.

The perfect day is who you are and what you do

   within the day you are given as you serve

   the people Jesus loved so much.

Moving to the deeper places,

Jeff
