The Gift of Today

Today is such a special day just because you are here.  Today absolutely worth living and you have the option to live it well or not.  You have the choice every day to make happy moments or sad ones.  Everything that happens to you will cause some sort of reaction.  Let your reactions bring you peace and joy today and tomorrow.

A joyful life is full of happy and sad times.  Yes, sad moments too.  How would you know joy if you have never experienced sad?  How would you know what happy is if you never felt the opposite?  Each and every day there are moments we need to just live through.  Some of those moments we call trials.  Making it through them is not easy but if done in the right state of mind, they can turn out positive.  We have many opportunities before us each day to create positive (happy) or negative (sad) memories.  Today is special.  It is truly a gift.  One that will never come again.  I know that I will never have the same day as today.  I truly want to live it in the present.  I want to live it full of joy.  I want it to be a special day worth living.  I choose to make today count.

Here is a poem my husband and I had on our wedding bulletin for our guests.   Our lives were lived in the past.  Now we are living in the present and letting God hold the future. 

 

Life is part one, two, and three.

The past, the present, and the yet to be:

The past s written and laid away – we cannot recall it.

The present we are writing day by day.

Live it right; there may not be another day or night.

The third, the yet to be,

We know not what –

Only God holds the key.
