The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “One of the most serious and powerful facts in human nature is that you are likely to get what you are expecting.” If you spend years expecting things aren’t going to turn out well, most likely that is what will happen. Conversely, if you develop an attitude of faith and expectancy you will create conditions in which every good thing can and will grow.
Heavenly Father, because of You I can begin my day with expectation that I will have a wonderful day. Thank You for the tremendous difference You make in my life.

The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.—Proverbs 19:8 (NIV)
