"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kings meat nor with the wine which he drank thereof."
Daniel 1:8 (KJV)
Today's Focus: Relationships
When was the last time you did a relationship status check for the people in your life? Not just spouses and boyfriends/girlfriends, but your children, relatives, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Everything happens through relationship, but we have to stay in relationship. We must purpose in our hearts to cultivate our relationships. That means we must intentionally nurture and support our connections. Not once a year when someone happens to cross your mind and not just when you need something from them, but on a regular basis. An email, a phone call, both go a long way. Relationships are much like flowers, if you do not nurture them, they will wither and die. But when you take the time to promote and encourage your relationships, they grow fragrant blossoms that brighten up your life.
Today's Thought: If you want to keep friends, stay friendly.
Today's Prayer:
"Lord,
give me the heart to nurture my relationships and the wisdom to keep them thriving."
