EB – Let’s go. – Erik Barnlund

JD – All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt. – Charles M. Schulz

JW – I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. Romans 16:17

MS – It is not that a child is to be denied what he wants, merely for the sake of the denial itself; but it is that a child ought not to have what he wants merely because he wants it. -H Clay Trumbull

Mike has been reading and learning about parenting from H Clay Trumbull and has shared a few interesting insights.

I think this one applies to all of us. We ought not have what we want merely because we want it.

Have you ever wanted something but not done anything about it? Just kind of sat back hoping it would happen. Maybe even complaining a little about not having it yet.

I know I have.

There are all kinds of books about how to get what we want. How to get what we want really isn’t that much of a secret.

It’s whether or not we will do what it takes to obtain our desires.

Think of something from your “want” list. Take some small action toward it today.

Put the first dollar aside.

Buy the groceries that will start the process.

Take that first walk around the block.

Pray that first prayer asking for help and guidance.

Get started.

Make it a great day.
