BIBLE READING:
Philippians 2
In verse 3 we are to think of others as better than ourselves ... each person around us is better at something than we are. I will think better of others if I listen to their stories and explore who they are. If I know the secret hurts and pains and suffering of someone I don't care to be around, with God's help those feelings should evaporate. I am to look into people so I can feel compassion for them. These are notes from Jon Courson's commentary and something I need to work on. There are two women I do not care to be around and I should work on those feelings.

 BOOK READING:
"TOO BUSY NOT TO PRAY" by Bill Hybels
Just as with our personal health - we should watch what we eat, exercise and get proper sleep to be healthy ... our spiritual health needs attention!
We need to pray; we need to listen to the promptings from God; we need to attend church; we need to maintain healthy relationships with spiritually minded people; we need to reach out to others for God. If we are too busy with life to feed our spiritual health we should not be surprised when things go wrong. If we want God's presence we must feed our spiritual health with good habits.

MY CALL TO ACTION TODAY/MY TIME OF SILENCE NOTES:
Think about my visit with Donna Rose tomorrow and what God will place on my heart. As my reading in Philippians 2 especially verse 3 comes into play for me here.

Have a blessed day.
