Valentine's Day, Winston Churchill, and Philippians

    As it is Valentine's Day, I gave my wife chocolate covered strawberries from Owen's Grocery store in Warsaw as a gesture of sweetness and nurture. She, knowing my admiration for Winston Churchill, gave me  three metal dispensers of red sticky-notes which read "Action This Day".
    Churchill was know for achieving results, in part, by encouraging others and specifying to others what is priority with his notes of "Action This Day". When a subordinate received such a note, they knew what to follow through on.
    We sometimes become so entangled in the hustle and bustle of daily living that we lose sight of priorities from time to time.
    The Apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Philippians, knew how to encourage others toward effective and productive goals...

Philippians 4:8

King James Version (KJV)

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

     I also encourage all of us to think on such things. And, as we are inspired, to diligently take action on those things which have inspired us.
   Tell those around you that you love them, this day.
    Start writing your book, this day.
    Start exercising, this day.
    Whatever priorities you have set for yourself on the agenda of life, set them in motion.
Take Action This Day.
