As I was out this morning on my daily walk, I was thinking that summer is almost over and how fast it went by. Then, an incredible thought popped into my head. My favorite day of the year is only 4 months away! I always consider Christmas Day the best day of the year because that is when we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Since the birth of my grandchildren, Jonah and Paige, Christmas has become even more fun. To watch a 4 year old and a 2 year old come down the stairs and see the delight on their faces as they try to comprehend the treasures that have been set out for them is just an unimaginable pleasure.
Then, as I continued my walk, the thought of the end of the year came to mind and I started thinking about the goals I set for myself in the beginning of 2009. Where am I in the process of achieving the physical, spiritual, educational and professional goals I set this past January?
Four months to go! What a great time for all of us to assess where we stand. Still enough time before the end of the year to reach the milestones we have set for ourselves.
I had a friend tell me one time, “If you’re coasting, that means you’re going downhill.” This has inspired me for many years; to always set high standards for all that I do in my life.
I hope that as we all approach the end of another year, we will not only meet the challenges of everyday living, but will strive to meet our goals and be the best that we can be.
P.S. Guess what my 2nd favorite day of the year is.
Stay tuned for more....
