7-ups


Simon Guillebaud author of For what it's worth (which should be on your reading list) shared a NY thought of Shoedel's 7-ups: 

‘The first is wake-up - Begin the day with the Lord. It is His day. Rejoice in it.
The second is dress-up - Put on a smile. It improves your looks. It says something about your attitude.
The third is shut-up - Watch your tongue. Don’t gossip. Say nice things. Learn to listen.
The fourth is stand-up - Take a stand for what you believe. Resist evil. Do good.
Five, look-up - Open your eyes to the Lord. After all, He is your only Savior.
Six, reach-up - Spend time in prayer with your adorations, confessions, thanksgivings and supplications to the Lord.
And finally, lift-up - Be available to help those in need – serving, supporting, and sharing.’
