I watched a movie a while back in which the central character is always asking God to show him how to want what He wants.

The line struck me so much that I kept thinking about it and finally turned it into a song - the shortest I have ever written.

Your thoughts on this verse remind me that what I want in life is to please my Lord. I want Him to show me how to want what He wants.

Thanks, sis.

Thanks for your reminder to keep Jesus number 1 so we can be about His work in the world. I find I have time to interact with all the folks I met in the halls and waiting areas.

All extremely Great Stuff.  HE is number one for sure.  Sometimes when I am down, dealing with this forget.  Soon there is a quiet reminder of Who is in charge.  Great thing like a sparrow on the feeder or a new bloom on that silly poorly cared for plant.  God is so GREAT.  AMEN

A great little book I highly recommend is Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young. Ithas devotions for every day of the year. When I feel overwelmed by my DH dementia I take a few moments to read for encouragement.
