Dr. Seuss was a word master.  Within his fun little verses he held great wisdom.   We all have a choice which direction we choose for our lives.  Choice is not just a term used for selfish reasons, it can be life changing.  Take Wednesdays for example.  You can look at this day two ways – as being that much closer to the weekend or as having completed two days of something good.

Yesterday I enjoyed weeding one small section of my hillside garden.  My old body isn’t as agile as it used to be and traversing the terraced terrain was intimidating at times.  By the end of the day, my bones ached and my lungs were full of dirt, but I had a sense of accomplishment.  No one was standing over me as a task master forcing me to do it.  I was doing it because it was a perfect day – I get great personal satisfaction pulling out the deep roots of those nasty weeds – I also enjoy the time I have to reflect on things.

Today I woke up with sore muscles, but with a better attitude.  We can choose which direction life takes us.  God has blessed us with amazing brains and bodies.  We can really often do more than we think we physically can.  Other days our bodies loudly say “no” and we choose not to.

When it comes to our salvation we also have a choice.  We can choose to accept that God doesn’t think twice about saving us – or we can continue to live under the guilt of sin and believe there is no hope for us.  Whether it’s the beginning of the week, the middle or the end, we can count on God to walk with us every day.  It’s a great choice.
