Then one afternoon she stopped by my house at 4:30 when I was busy at my computer and urged me out onto my front porch to chat, ''Come on, come on, get away from that computer for a few minutes and enjoy this porch! It's gorgeous out here!'' she coaxed. Reluctantly, I left my email box to join her on the front porch. I had no clue how unseasonably warm it was outside. As we sat and talked, it struck me how blessed we were. We had so much abundance that we didn't even have the time to enjoy it all. As we spoke, I began to see my blessings through new eyes - through the eyes of my friend who could truly appreciate them. Upon watching her drive away, I was left with a sense of gratitude, but also a sense of sadness for my friend who had lost something so precious to her. This was a gentle reminder for me to not only count my blessings but also to take time to enjoy them.
I believe that life is about learning lessons. And one of the biggest lessons we're here to learn is to appreciate what we have, take care of it, and enjoy it. Life has a way of seeing that we do this through three progressive phases: gentle reminders, warning signals and calamity (the whirlwind). It's like your automobile. You know those little stickers that gently remind you when your oil was last changed and when it needs to be changed again? If you ignore that gentle reminder, the warning light will come on in your car. If you ignore the oil light, then get ready for calamity to strike - serious damage to your car.
Our bodies work similarly. Loss of energy or weight gain act as gentle reminders. Excessive colds and flu, low blood sugar, or anemia can act as warning signals. Then, if we ignore our bodies long enough, they'll use serious illnesses to get our attention. Not only does this principle work for our bodies and automobiles, but it also works in every aspect of our lives and even in societies as a whole.
The older I get, the more I realize that I should be listening to the gentle reminders before they get to warning signals and whirlwinds. But this isn't something I'm good at. As a matter of fact, it's a motif for my life - ignore it until it gets to the crisis point then scrounge in a panic to repair the damage. Will I never learn that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?
As I was thinking about this, I thought to myself, ''You know I don't think I had gentle reminders in the past. I think my life went straight to warning signals and whirlwinds.'' But you know what? I'm convinced there were gentle reminders, but I was just too busy or hard headed to see them. I didn't recognize them for what they were. Over time, I've noticed more gentle reminders and have discovered that they come in many forms:
- My small son peeking around a corner with flirty eyes and coy grin is a reminder of how precious these days in his life are and how blessed I am to have happy, healthy beautiful children. This reminder is saying, ''Take time to enjoy them!''
- Seeing my friends and family members struggle with illness or loss, are gentle reminders to appreciate my blessings while I have them.
- A friend pointing out my blessings is a gentle reminder to be grateful for what I have instead of continually running on a treadmill for ''more and better'' things that I'll just eventually ignore and take for granted too.
- My husband coaxing me out onto the front porch to see a stunning sunset is a gentle reminder to enjoy nature and take time for those I love.
- My weary eyes at the end of the day are a gentle reminder to stop burning the candle at both ends and get more rest.
The list could go on and on. What are your gentle reminders? Take the time to notice them, and then act upon their messages before they progress to warning signals and heaven-forbid, the whirlwind. (p73-75)

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2002Discovering God's will for our lives isn't always easy, but
Marnie Pehrson teaches us in a down to earth style how
we can examine our lives and make changes that will help
us discover our place in the world
10 Steps to Fulfilling Your Divine Destiny is not a lofty
set of steps that will leave you feeling you can't possibly
accomplish what is recommended. Pehrson is a mom of
six, a business woman and a Christian. She walks the
walk-she knows that of which she writes. I felt as if I
could take these steps and apply them to my life.
My favorite chapter is on quilt. The author explains the
elements of guilt and teaches us why it can work in our
favor, and what to do when it becomes destructive. I nodded
my head through the entire chapter at how much sense it
made. It's one of those chapters I will read over and over.
Good spiritual books from a Christian viewpoint are hard
to come by. Much of the time I end up with a few grains of
good advice and put aside the rest. But 10 Steps to Fulfilling
Your Divine Destiny is a book to highlight, to keep by your
bedside and one which you can apply the advice on a daily basis.
