I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes
midnight.
I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to
choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or...
I can be thankful that God is watering the grass for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or...
I can be grateful 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 praise God 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 in the Father’s beautiful plan, thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or ...
I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new Godly relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or...
I can shout for joy because He has given me a job to do.
Today I can complain because 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 mind, body
and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And 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 and thank God for allowing me
to have it!
