Take That First Step

Today's thought is:
The distance doesn't matter; only the
first step is difficult. --Mme. du Deffand
Life continually presents us with opportunities for achieving what
we desire. Only the first step is difficult. Each time we sense the
possibility of a new direction in our lives, we are being given a
chance to grow. Sometimes the first step is a big one; sometimes we
start to take it almost without noticing: a dream, a book, a
conversation. Sometimes growth may come from not taking what looks like
an opportunity. Whatever choice we make we can be challenged to grow.
The distance doesn't matter. Our road has many branching paths. What
we work and pray for is the ability to see those paths clearly, and the
strength to take a difficult first step.
Today my first step may be surrender.

You are reading from the book:
The Promise of a New Day by Karen Casey & Martha Vanceburg
Copyright 1983, 1991 by Hazelden Foundation.
