Reflection
Our life journey is marked by choices. We can replay the path we have travelled and mark the points where we could have gone other ways. Our choices have set the direction to where we now stand. Some were rational, some were intuitive and others may have been mindless. Yet, all were significant. We were molded by them and looking back we were changed by them. The person we are now includes the sum of our past choices. The person we are becoming will include choices yet to be made.
Prayer
O Lord, lead me in right ways.
Action
Review significant choices you have made. Where did they lead you? Realize your own responsibilities.
