A Worshipful Heart

Okay, so let's face it...I wake up in the morning with the intent to stay focused on the Lord, "whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtue and anything praiseworthy, meditate on these".  But, my seat hits the seat of the car...and I tend to get distracted.  I spend the rest of the day fighting to stop getting distracted.  All distractions are good excuses, and yet, you'd think that by now I would have figured out how to FOCUS.

Then, there's that moment in time, when a little 6 year old shows you how easy it is...just STOP.  "Let's play my game I made up, mom; after all, we're supposed to worship God in the morning, afternoon and night aren't we?"

J-boy found a die on the way home from school the other day.  Of course, he immediately began rolling the die.  So he made up a game.  If you roll a 1-say one good thing, 2-two good things, 3-three good things, 4-four good things, 5 or 6-well, sit and relax you get a turn to rest.  The game has evolved over the last two days, now we give thanks for 1-4 good things.

So, go get a die and place it in your pocket.  The next time life seems out of control, and your focus out of wack...roll the die and give thanks.
