New Year, New Aspirations
Up To Know Good on Thursday
January 04, 2007
I picked the book off the shelf and started thumbing through it. I remembered when I bought it and wondered why I had never bothered to read even the first chapter. I was in the midst of packing, and I quickly closed the book. It was time to fill boxes, not read. I put it in the special box of books that would go to our apartment and made a promise to read it once we got there.
Do Good - Pick a book off of your shelf that you haven’t read or haven’t read in a while. Make a promise to yourself to read it. Set a deadline, and tell someone else about your goal.
It has now been several weeks since I unpacked, and I found at least three books that I can’t wait to read. My goal is to get through at least one this month. I love how books inspire, motivate, and entertain. If we let them, books have the ability to mentor, challenge, and even change us. As we start a new year, let’s make it a goal to enrich our lives and support our long-term vision through reading.

God, thank You for the gift of books. Give me the desire to read and the openness to be transformed - especially by Your Word.
Know Good. Do Good. Feel Good.
I pray that you have a great day as you experience and express God's love in fresh, real ways!
Blessings,
Sara
