As I write this post, I’m looking out of my office window at a beautiful sunset.
I’m waiting for a client who has called as his car has broken down on his way home from work, so he will be late for his appointment.
It’s a moderate annoyance as it means it’s going to be a later night than I had anticipated, but the blessing is that I get the chance to reflect on the day that’s just gone and ask myself a few questions.
Was I a good father and husband today? Was I present? Did I maximise my time with them? Do they feel loved and valued as a result of our interactions?
Did I provide great service to my clients? Was my work excellent? Did I equip and encourage them? Did I give them hope? Did they get more than they paid for?
Was I a faithful follower of Jesus today? Did my words and actions reflect my faith? Was I aware of the presence of God throughout my day?
Did I learn something today? How am I going to apply this?
Am I getting closer to my goals for the year? Did I take deliberate action that will assist me?
I couldn’t honestly answer all of these questions positively, but it was nice to spend a few moments in quiet reflection and I was better for the experience.
And as the sun finally disappears and I see the headlights of my client’s car announce his arrival, I have one final question for myself.
Was today a good day?
Yes. Yes it was!
What questions do you ask yourself on a regular basis?
