He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.  Proverbs 21:21 NIV

It is amazing what we really pursue as important during our lives.  We work so hard at going after so many things that we think are important, only to find out that while pursuing them many of our relationships do not turn out to be what we hoped for.  So what is this righteousness and love?  Well, righteousness is the pursuing through all the details of our life a relationship with God that gives him glory (which is praise and thanksgiving to him).  It allows us to work with our abilities, then rejoice and delight in him. Love allows us the ability to bless others as we work and play.  It allows us the joy of being aware of the emotions, desires and goals of people we meet along our journey, then finding ways to bless them as our Lord has blessed us.  Today let yourself enjoy his grace that gives you something to pursue that will not wear you out and will bring you along with others refreshment in your journey. Enjoy!
