Just Released: Meadow Version of the 2 * 0 * 4 Planner

A Planner for Life: That was the intent in the development of the 2 * 0 * 4 Planner.

We were singing: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength."

That's from Luke 10:27.  To place this verse in context:
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
Heart.  Soul.  Strength.  Mind.
Too much in society tells us to focus on improving our bodies.  How many of your New Year's Resolutions are about diet and exercise, stress and sleep?  How many dream of vacations where all you do is sleep late then lay on the beach (and get sunburned)?
Society all tells us that our minds are very important.  We school our children for 12+ plus years.  We urge them to attend college for even more years, 2 or 4 or 6 or 8.  Many of us involve ourselves in Bible studies of some sort, or we read self-help articles, or we peruse magazines or take online courses.  We don't want our minds to stagnant.  Even when we're tired of work, we still pay attention to baseball standings or other sport scores.  Or we get involved in craft classes.  We constantly learn.  Often, improving our minds becomes one or two of those New Year's Resolutions.
Our hearts are our relationships, and many of our self-help readings or discussions involve ways to improve our relationships with family and friends.  Yet even though we intend this improvement of our heart circles, we don't think about turning these intentions into New Year's Resolutions.
And the thing that is consistently neglected on many people's New Year's Resolutions:  that's the Soul.
We ARE a Soul.  A soul with a beating heart for others, a curious mind, and a working body.  We think about improving heart, mind, and body.  We should work on soul improvements as well.
I'm preaching, aren't I?  Time for marketing.
And the 2 * 0 * 4 planner can help improve Heart and Soul, Mind and Body.
How can one planner do this?
Well, come back tomorrow for more information in our week of promos.  We have seven different covers to highlight.  Or head over to Amazon.  Currently priced at $12.00, this planner is a bargain for a year's worth of guidance.
And you will have a beautiful cover to spark joy every time you see it.
