31 DBC - Day 6 - Five Senses

1 - Sense of HUMOR - I think it is so important to have a sense of humor. We need to learn to laugh at ourselves and we need to find the humor in every situation especially if we are having a rough day.

2 - Sense of STABILITY - It is so nice to have someone to count on. A life that has some stability. It is less stressful when we work hard to get out of debt and have a little in savings. Yes this may take years but it is worth the sacrifice that we have to make. For years we were under the financial burden. We are FAR from being rich but we have a little more stability now even though we continue to face layoffs.

3 - Sense of SPIRITUALITY - I believe it is so important to know where we came from and where we are going. It is wonderful to know that we have a Heavenly Father who loves us and will help us in good or bad times. We will be judged by our actions so it is important to have faith and strive to be better each day. I am SO far from perfect that's why I get up each morning and try it again. I am thankful for my testimony.

4 - Sense of CHARACTER - I like the old saying "He is as good as his word." I listened to a CD a few years ago and one of the things that stuck with me is the saying "Own your words". This means to say what you really mean and follow through. This is important in your marriage relationships, your family relationships, with your friends and even with your co-workers. What you DO matters just as much as what you SAY.

5 - Sense of HONESTY - Can you imagine "signing" a contract with just a handshake or a world where you didn't have to lock your doors. If you borrowed something and you would feel awful if you didn't return it in the same condition if not BETTER?
