Year End Inventory

Good morning! I hope you had a great Christmas holiday and are looking forward to the New Year with great anticipation.

At this time of year business owners are closing out their financial books and taking year end inventory. During this time of inventory supply is accounted for and demand is evaluated. Based on this information the business owner will determine items that require greater or less inventory in the year to come. The business owner will also use this process to make decisions about those things that are profitable and those things which are not.

On this last day of 2007, I would encourage you to also take inventory:

Romans 12:3 (NLT)

As God’s messenger, I give each of you this warning: Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you.

People also need to evaluate the shelves of their lives. What unnecessary inventory is aging in your soul? Are there old hurts, doubts or fears that are hindering you in your daily life? Are there new habits or lifestyle changes that need to be added to improve your quality of life?

Take time today to evaluate the success, struggles and failures of 2007. Take note of the common threads that are seen and the gaps that are visible. From this information you can develop your plan and goals to make 2008 the best that it can be.

Until next Monday, may God’s richest blessings be yours this week.

Carl
