Guideposts

Think of a word, just one word

A word that encourages you.

A word that you need to hear.

Close your eyes.

Take your time and think.

Let the word come to you.

Peace.

Mercy.

Strength.

Joy.

Remember your word.

Post it to your mirror.

Put it on a screen saver.

Write in on the front of your journal.

Keep it on book mark.

Let it be a guidepost—a road sign

for your life journey this year.

***

Jeremiah 31:21

Set up road signs,

Put up guideposts.

Annie Dillard

How we spend our days

is how we spend our lives.
