Do you ever find yourself using a phrase again and again? I've been told I have "signature" phrases I use repeatedly:
"There is that" (in agreement with someone in a conversation)
"Be that as it may" (acknowledging a point in discussion that I probably don't agree with)
"Nevertheless" or "Regardless" (listening to our sons but then laying down the law)
I turned my daily prayer themed calendar today and the saying is pithy (good economic word--look it up)
"Let prayer be the key of the morning and the bolt at night" quoted of Philip Henry (1631-1696; British Nonconformist clergyman and father to Matthew Henry renowned Bible commentator)
His simple words give such a clear picture of the importance of prayer: unlock your day with and to God and close the door to the day locking it into God as well.
Now I would much rather be known for reminders to pray or to look to God in faith through life's challenges.
How about you?
