Blessed is The Man


Begin the day with God,
Kneel down to Him in prayer;
Lift up thy heart to His abode
And seek His love to share.

Open the Book of God
And read a portion there;
That it may hallow all thy thoughts
And sweeten all thy care.

Go through the day with God
Whate'er thy work may be;
Whether thou art at home or abroad,
He still is near to thee.

Converse in the mind with God;
Thy spirit heavenward raise.
Acknowledge every good bestowed
And offer grateful praise.

Conclude the day with God,
Thy sins to Him confess;
Trust in the Lord's atoning blood
And plead His righteousness.

Lie down at night with God,
Who gives His servants sleep;
And when thou tread'st the vale of death,
He will thee guard and keep.

  • Count your blessings daily
    Even with life's challenges, there are always positive things, people, and events in our lives that keep us going.  Make a list of those things in your life that keep you fueled, and give thanks for them daily.
  • Do more than you are getting paid to do.
    Going the extra mile brings many unexpected rewards into our life.  Remind yourself that it's a privilege to be able to add value to someone else's life.
  • Shake off your blunders.
    Whenever you get knocked down by life, don't look back on it too long.  Mistakes are life's greatest teachers; they help us grow and move on, but only if we remain unstuck.
  • Remember that you are God's perfect creation; you can do anything you dream of anytime you want.
  • Let your actions always speak of your values.
  • Be on guard for false pride and deceit that may halt your progress.
  • Every day should be unwrapped as a precious gift.
  • Life may offer hurdles and stumbling blocks; use these as stepping stones to reaching your goal.
  • Live this day as if it were your last.
  • Extend everyone you meet all the care, kindness, love, and understanding you can muster, without thought of reward.
  • Give of yourself:  your time, your money, your talent or skills.  Take the focus off yourself.
  • Laugh at yourself ... Laughing causes a release of tension and worry, and clears your mind to think clearly toward a solution that is certain to come as soon as you let go.
And MOST Important ... Remember to always put
GOD First in Everything You Do!
Your family next with others and your career third
