Wow!  How many of us remember that statement from our Mother?

"First Things First"; when I was a little girl many times I would rush to complete my work just to get out and go play or go over to my friends house.  I was not taking my time and doing my home chores properly, just doing to say I am finish.  Bug, did you do all of your work that quick?  Yes Mama. Ok, you can go play, be back in an hour.  Yes Mama.  Well, by the time I was out the yard and down the walk I would hear Julia Lucille, come here.  Why would I hear Julia Lucille, come here? Well I would do my work so fast until I was half doing just so I could get out.  It did not work; Mom would always call me back.  This happen until I learned "First Things First".  When she sat me down and explained to me the importance of doing all things in order, taking your time to do whatever you are asked to do.  When you take your time you will never be called back to re-do what you were asked to the "First Time".  Mom had learned the Law and the Principle of "First Things First".  Believe me, as time passed on, I came to respect the Law and Principle of "First Things First".

This day I can say to you that when I wake up in the morning I give my first thoughts to my Adonai (Lord).  When you learn to please our Creator first in your life, first in everything you do, you will always be Bless.

January 2010, should be the month that we all learn to make our Creator, our G_D, our Father first, then watch the next eleven months.  Blessings shall be yours!!

I was given the book Until Today! by Iyanla Vanzant as a wonderful present.  It has become my daily devotional book.  I want to share my present with you.  When you get a chance do purchase the book, but until then, I will share with you.
