Three Things to Do Every Day

The believer has no greater desire than to walk closely with his or her Lord. Here are 3 things we can practice daily that might encourage such a close walk with Christ:

1. Practice gratefulness. Thank God throughout the day. Thank him carefully and thoughtfully. Thankfulness is a soil in which sin does not easily grow.

2. Practice contrition. Confess your sins throughout the day. Put yourself under the divine examination and be ready to accept humiliations.

3. Practice lightheartedness. Be serious but never somber. Laugh about yourself and with (never at) others. Keep a good sense of humor as you go through your day.

Have a wonderful weekend!
