Today



Today

I woke up early, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. My job is to choose what kind of day I will have today

Today

I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today

I can feel sad that I don’t have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today

I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today

I can lament over all that my parents didn’t give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today

I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today

I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today

I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do

Today

I can complain that I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge

Today

I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my body, mind and soul.

Today

Stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. Here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

Have a great day unless you have other plans.

:) I think its another beautiful post by you. Its always what we should be thinking about. Our today because a good today will give a better tomorrow.

If we acquit ourselves of sins today and fulfill responsibilities we'll get in practice of doing it tomorrow.

Today is always the period of preparing.
