When our son, Pat, was a teenager he coined a phrase that has stuck around to this day. If he made a discovery or picked up a piece of information that impacted him and that he thought might be useful in general, he would share it, calling it his "hot tip for the day".
This morning I'm looking for hot tips for my day and I know I'll always get at least a few from my morning reading. Bear with me as I discover a few of those tips, disjointed as they may appear.
Max Lucado's "hot tip for the day": Don't bother to look for true contentment from anything I find here on earth. It's all temporary. Keep my eyes and heart focused on what is offered from a higher plane and be ready to think outside the envelope in my definition of contentment.
Be a good friend today. Strong bonds of friendship are priceless. Again, Max Lucado.
Be grateful for everything! (And that includes cancer.) "Thou Who hast given so much to me, give me one more thing-a grateful heart!."-George Herbert.
Look for answered prayer in God's timing, not mine.. "Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but they return with the richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer."-William Gurnall.
Always expect to triumph. "Let's keep our heads up and our knees down-we're on the victory side!"-Alan Redpath.
That's about as much as this old soul can handle for one day. If any more "hot tips for the day" pop up and I think they may be worth sharing, I'll do just that😊
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal."-2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV).
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."-Romans 12:12 (NIV).
On the health front:
The pesky health issue of yesterday is on its way to resolution.
Early blood test this morning to ascertain whether my week will include Neupogen injections and/or chemotherapy.
Please pray for increased production of those poor hammered white blood cells.
