Treat Yourself Nicely Today 12/16/2024

 Good Morning, 

A hot cup of Door County Candy Cane Coffee awaits me when I am finished writing for today. 

Normally I write about being nice to others, considering them to be more important than yourself. And I have not abandoned that ideal for living.

But today I want to remind you that you are also important and it is a good idea to treat yourself nicely as well. Do something nice for yourself. Maybe you are away from your family on business. You could eat another cold sandwich tonight for dinner in your hotel room or you could venture out and eat a decent meal. You could take in a short nap if time permits. Actually carve out some time just for a nap. You are worth it. Maybe extend that hot shower an extra minute or two. A second cup of of coffee??? How about a little extra time in prayer and don't forget to pray for yourself. 

Psalm 139:13-16 For you formed my inward parts, you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 14. I praise you for I am wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there were none of them. 

God loves you so much that He filled this world with good and wonderful things, Take some time to treat yourself to something nice today. I think my treat will be some extra time with a book I am reading and then a giant meatball. 

God bless,

Marty
