(Presented as a portion of Dr. Chalker's Sermon on Sunday, November 27, 2011)
1. Three minutes of prayer each day. If your mind wanders and all sorts of other thoughts come into your mind, try WRITING your prayer. It doesn't have to be longer than a sentence and it doesn't have to be suitable for publishing. JUST WRITE YOUR PRAYER and then read it out loud.
2. Expect that every day God will put into your mind the name of some person whose life you can enrich by a phone call, note, e-mail, tweet or some other way to offer them an expression of regard, support or encouragement.
3. At the end of each day, think about one thing that has been an accomplishment which God has enabled through you. It doesn't have to be accomplishing world peace. Think on some accomplishment in your family, home, work, among friends or community – SOMETHING you are pleased has occurred through you. God has used you for a loving purpose. Remember it. God uses us for loving purposes. Anticipate it!
4. Keep a spiritual treasure chest. This could include pictures, notes, inspirational writings or precious objects that REMIND you of a loved one or some special time of joy in your life. This treasure chest can include whatever has touched you and stirs your soul. Particularly when you are having a difficult day, take out that treasure chest. Open it and reflect upon the things you have placed within it.
