I am wondering what I would accomplish today, if I were working with excellence … constantly striving to reach my highest potential. Isn’t that what Scripture indicates we should do?
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.
(Ecclesiastes 9:10a NIV)
So what would I do with excellence today? A few things come to mind:
- I’d start my day with prayer and/or Bible study and contemplation.
- I’d call my friend, who is celebrating her birthday today, and pray a blessing over her upcoming year.
- I’d vacuum our house and clean our bathrooms, so guests and family will find it to be a cozy retreat from the rest of the world.
- I’d arrange a coffee date with a friend who recently mentioned that she is struggling and needs a godly friend to discuss some things with.
- I’d take at least one step toward getting the paperwork in order so we can file our taxes early this year.
- I’d have a healthy meal ready and waiting for my husband when he gets home from work.
That’s a good start, don’t you think? What would YOU accomplish today, if you were working with excellence?
Keeping it real,
Those are all excellent ideas and ways to spread your excellence.
The scripture you’ve chosen is really resonating with me. I find that others can be scornful because I have a strong work ethic. Seeing these words has reaffirmed my values. Thank you for once again posting a timely and meaningful topic. KathiS
Hi Tammie,
I would start my day with meditation – followed by some reading – maybe the Bible, or a favorite book. I’d take time to write. And then I’d take time to connect with those important to me… And if I could do all that, it would be an excellent day indeed!
And I think your list is marvelous! Excellent for sure!
