Just A Little Better

I made a goal to be a little better today at exercising patience and self-control. Instead of hamburger and fries for lunch, I had a yummy meal that was full of vegetables. Later in the day, I waited to start reading a fantasy novel I had just checked out from the library in favor of studying God's word first. I noticed today that I felt better physically and spiritually after making those choices. I felt renewed and able to work hard for a little bit longer until the day's end.

I set this goal about patience and self-control because I've found myself struggling with them at times. Today I'm grateful for the satisfaction and sense of renewal I received from making such choices today.
