Common sense is not that common. Acting logically and calmly is a great response in many situations, and it is necessary in a crisis.
Our emotions are easily stirred. An emotional response is not always the most best response. A diligently practiced prayerful pause is always a good idea.
One of things that always makes me smile is when the best solutions come from the most humble sources. New eyes on an old problem… or maybe just different eyes.
Critical thinking skills need exercise. On the other side, overthinking can be problematic, too.
So, how do we act with common sense? Keep first things first. Sometimes, common sense goes against the grain of what is popular.
“Be strong and courageous!” -Deuteronomy 31:6
Today, I am grateful for common sense .
