attention is very difficult. I do try to save pennies on rainy days so 
that I can occasionally afford to pay attention. 

The other day I got caught in a trap. I should know better, but
sometimes I let my guard down, and there it is, I am stuck. 

We again were watching a little television, and I, for some reason, was
staring off into outer space. My wife noticed that, and then she said, 
“A penny for your thoughts.” 

Without thinking, and I do this quite a bit, I replied, “You don't have
enough pennies for what I'm thinking.” I don't know why I said it. 
Maybe I was trying to make a joke. Regardless of the reason, I was in 
deep trouble. 

She stared at me for a few moments, and then both of us broke down in
laughter. I will not reveal what she said next, but it was appropriate. 


In my quiet time this morning, I thought about that incident. I thought
about how important thoughts are. Then I thought about what David said, 
“How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the 
sum of them!” (Psalm 139:17). 

However important my thoughts may be, the most important thoughts are
the thoughts God has concerning me. Searching the Scriptures, I begin 
to see what God thinks about me.
