So I invited to subscribe to this podcast and join me here Money to Friday to help your day by starting right with Danny Mac. Good morning, everyone. And I hope you're having a fabulous week. I have a confession to make this morning. I am a fan of country music. I like country music. Well, quite honestly, I like a wide variety of music. My Spotify playlists and I have many of them cover a wide range of genres, but I do enjoy country music. We put a CD in our car recently that we've had for a while, but haven't listened to very often by a group called High Valley. And as we're listening to it as I'm driving along, they came to this song that I have heard many times before. But when they sang at this time it hit me like it never has before. It was one of those songs and one of those phrases that at the right time adjusted a clicked inside of me. Let me read to you what the chorus says, because it's the chorus that gets to me and I'm certainly not gonna sing it to you If the last thing you did was the last thing you do If the last word you said was the last breath you drew, would you be okay with the way they remember you? If the last thing you did was the last thing you do now, maybe it's because of this Corona virus separation that we've had with family and friends, that we can't get together with them and see them and sit down and chat and talk and just love on him by being with him. We can't do that. Maybe because of that, I'm more sensitive to something like this where the challenge is, what was the last thing you said to somebody? What was the last thing you did with someone? And if it was the last chance you had to speak to them, how would that impact you. What would what would they think about you? What would that impact be on them for the rest of their lives? In the Book of Haggai, God speaks through the prophet to tell the people to look at your motivation, look at your heart and see where the important things are in your lives. In chapter one, Verse five. It says this now. This is what the Lord Almighty says. Give careful thought to your ways. And that phrase give careful thought occurs four times in the two chapters of the Book of Haggai. Give careful thought. You're careful. Thought to what's important to you. Give careful thought to what you are doing. Give careful thought to where you're going. Give careful thought to what you say. Give careful thought to the message you're giving to the people you care about. Around you give careful thought to the impact that you're making on other people's lives. If the last thing you did was the last thing you do, would you be OK with the way they remember you? We spent the last two days talking about forgiveness, about getting over our offenses and our grudges. You know, it's so important that we do those things, while we still have the opportunity to reach out to people and build bridges and to reconcile, to make our families strong, to make our relationship strong. We need each other now. So today I want into give careful thought to what you've been doing. Give careful thought to your priorities. Give careful thought to the people in your life. Give careful thought to your relationships. Give careful thought, doing what you know God has been speaking to you about in your life and take the steps you need to do. Bring peace in all of it and let God bless you and love you. We're all in this together gang. Let's learn. Thank you for joining us today.
