I have thoroughly enjoyed my daily devotions. It has brought a new routine into my morning, which I am enjoying. After I wake up, I go into the kitchen and start my coffee. Then I make my bed and sit down to do my daily devotion. They are brief but strike a chord in me and are giving me an optimistic and hopeful start to the day. As I last time, these devotions are geared towards caregivers for elderly people. That is perfect for me with my occupation. This morning's devotion really hit home with me because it is something that I have been working towards already. It was about giving full attention. The story was about a minister visiting a beloved member of his congregation in a memory care unit. As he sat with her to talk, she at first was not making sense and her words seemed rambling. But the longer that he sat with her and gave her his full attention, her words and thoughts became much clearer, and they had a good visit with each other. The point being that when we can be truly present with each other and focused on each other, our depth of understanding can greatly increase. That is what I am working on, being present in the moment. Now I know I am on the right path with that!
