This thought was on my flip calendar this morning.
Timely good deeds are nicer than afterthoughts. The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.
I was listening to a tape last week and this person said when he rises up from his bed before he puts his feet on the floor he says, "thank you God". I thought how that must please God that your first thought would be toward Him and then to thank Him that you lived another day, that your had a good night sleep, and that your breathing. I thought, God's not seeking some grandiose prayer but just a simple thank you. Then his next thought is how can I help someone today. He said, "it doesn't have to be something big (but it might be) but it might be something small just be sensitive to God and His leading during the day." Living a life of gratefulness and from your heart wanting to help others is a life of peace and joy.
