Here's another Monotation from Spencer Burke, founder of the Ooze.com, and creator of these visual meditations with a single associated word meant to create space for personal reflection. 
Tired and on deadline for my book today, this one helped me remember that, while circumstances may be out of my control today, my reaction to them is a choice. Look forward to hearing what this Monotation means to you.

Spencer's meditation is meaningful but only partly - I don't know what the object on the left is. But, yes, Joan!!! You bring light to a truth we often want to deny. Thankfully, we always have a choice of how we will react to what life brings our way...I only wish I had learned that earlier in life.

May Love be the reason to all our choices....God has given us from the beginning the freedom of choice,but because of His love to mankind,the Lord Jesus Christ came down from heaven to Earth to show us the way,the truth and the life.

May all the choices we make brings glory to God.

I wrote a prayer on an 8x11 piece of paper for myself and family to read as we walked past it in our hurrying to meet all the deadlines each day. It is another way to say these thoughts being shared here:
Dear God, May I make choices today that glorify you today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Thank you for reminding me of this, this morning!
