Today I made up my very first Coupon Of Wisdom (a.k.a. C.O.W.) I'm going to have to make myself a logo! HA! Is anyone out there especially good at creating such things? Maybe I could just use photoshop? I'm going to have to figure that out.
In my morning devotions I took note of the following passage:
I recorded this on an index card and slipped it into my blackberry carrying case. I've pulled it out many times during the day to recite and ponder. I'm going to try to memorize some more scripture. I haven't done that for some time.
So on the back of the card I'm recording some of the ways I can redeem this coupon i.e. Make coffee for Keith, do the laundry/dishes, do a special chore for a co-worker. etc.
The hard part is that often I show my love with words. This of course is NOT suggesting that words of love are wrong in any way, but it is simply reminding us that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!
I am so going to get crafty and make some pre-printed coupon cards. Then I'm going to get one of those coupon organizers and label different categories. Then I can file them as I create them. When I finish one and move on to another I will have a nice little filing system where I will be able to easily dig it out again for re-assurance and/or re-focus.
BTW - the acronym C.O.W. suits me so perfectly since I have such a fond love of the bovine species. (It's comes with a history of Dairy Princess! I can't help it!) OH - and I shall be milking some cows this weekend! Yippie!!!
