Pursue righteousness and kindness

"Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor." I wondered to myself how much I actually pursued those two things...then once again had to immediately pray for forgiveness, then they wisdom and strength now to pursue them as I should have been doing all along. It's going to be a good day now that my priorities are in order. Starting the day off with pray, can one ever get off on the wrong foot if you hit your knees first?!
