Day of Firsts

I love the first of a new month.  We get a new beginning every 30 days or so.  The first day of August is one of those days.  It is the first day with a major change to how I do business.  It is the first day of school locally.  Traditionally, it was the first day of family vacation when I was growing up.  My devotional reading from Jesus Calling reminded me that God never forgets us like a mother never forgets her children.  I wrote "Carla" and "Kelly" on the palms of my hands in ink so I would remember them during the day.  I am putting them first in my thoughts today.  I will put God first in everything I do and I am promised (Matthew 6:33) that everything else will come together as a result of that.  There is no need to worry.  Also, today is my first day of doing a post a day!
