A New Day

Every morning I wake up I say, 'thank you Lord for giving me another day'. Regardless of our circumstances, we can use the day to be productive in some way, help someone who needs us, pay special attention to our children, call someone and give them encouragement, get something on our 'to do list' done or maybe several things. The more we put of ourselves into the day, the better we feel when it comes to a close. We all would like to be a little richer, a little more organized, a little more engaged with life, however, we live best when we take what we do have and then do something with it... every day. Five years ago, the Lord gave me a new lease on life, Dr.'s who kept me alive and brought me back to some measure of health. Because of this, every day is a wonderful day for this poor man who has little of life's material things but much of God's blessing. Every day is a special day and a special opportunity. Sit down and plan how to make the best of it....then work your plan. This will always elevate your good feelings about yourself, about others, and about the gift of this new day!
