I thank you for this time when I can choose to get added rest, or added fun, or added time to catch up on necessary chores. Lord, this is also a great day for reflection. This is a day to thank you for the many gifts and talents that you have given me to serve you and serve others. Lord, you have equipped me, you have prepared me, and you will enable me to make great contributions to this world. Enlarge my vision of your awesome plan for my life. I thank you for your heavenly guidance. I celebrate the revelation, motivation, and determination that will take me to the next step in my destiny. Bless my work and my career for your glory. Enlarge my opportunities. Enable me to be prosperous as I dedicate myself to giving my best to the work assignments you have given me. | | Monday Memo is from Scout Executive Joe Daniszewski and contains his reflection on what is happening within the Council.
