2192) I have had a small sewing business for several years and have learned many things. One is that taking an inventory of my products is vital.  

An inventory tells me what I have available and I can double-check what I have for sale in my electronic catalogue. I want to make sure I have on hand what my catalog includes.  

Philippians 4:8 reminds me of the importance of an inventory. Here Paul tells us to think about truth, honor, justice, purity, loveliness and what is commendable.  

What was an eye-opener for me is when I looked up the words, think about in the original Greek.  

It is logizomai, and it means to take an inventory.  

Just like in a business, I need to be sure I have these things in stock or in my life.  

If my inventory shows I do not have them, I need to take the time to incorporate them.  

What I think about is a choice. An inventory can help me keep my thoughts in check.
