Message of the Day THE FAITH FACTOR For some, their responsibility to God is an important reason to organize. Some feel that they have an obligation to "clean up their act" because disorganization interferes with a higher calling of God on their lives. They can't entertain others, form friendships, or serve others as they desire. In other words, they cannot fulfill the purpose for which they were created. Because of that they maintain a special focus as they go about making changes. They think this way: It is for myself, yes. It is for my family, yes. But overarching all, it is for Him --- and that makes all the difference. -------------------------------------- 2. Did You Know? The NEW and IMPROVED K.I.S.S.

I don't even remember the last time I felt like that. I didn't have a list in my mind. I enjoyed that things were organized and clean. I loved walking by the 4 back rooms and seeing them all looking good....beds made and floor vacuumed, the kitchen, living room and dining room look great. For the first time I can see more of what has been done instead of what needs to be done. Watched 2 movies with my family today without a bit of guilt. Meals were already organized. ... Wow! It is wonderful to finally have things organized. It makes things easier and "yummier". I love this feeling. Of course, tomorrow morning.... I will start again on my To Do list.... but it is wonderful to start reaping the rewards. (Congratulations and thanks to a happy Messie) -------------------------------------- 10.
