To Make Each Day Count

As you wake up this morning,
Be grateful to God for giving you another day
In your life full of purpose.
Thank Him for the love that you get
And the ability to love back,
The zest for living, the knowledge to survive,
The joy to smile, and the wisdom to be kind.

If these things don't quite resonate with you,
Thank Him for a heart so open
That allows new people, experiences and ideas to enter in the mind.
A mind so strong, that's capable of learning and unlearning.
And a body so capable of doing what is right,
And fighting against the odds in a righteous fight.

Prayer for Today

I read this in a magazine and jotted it down in my note book only to share it with as many people as possible. If it resonates with you, share using your own means.

Before the day is out,

Do something specific and concrete

That will demonstrate your determination to

Change yourself and your life for the better

Pay a debt

Heal a broken relationship

End a quarrel

Offer an apology

Pray for someone

Visit someone who is sick

Restrain yourself from buying something

You had planned to buy for yourself

And give the money to charity instead

Do whatever you do quietly, without ostentation

And do it, not in the hope of reward

But simply because you want to do it

Because you prefer to be an

Inner-directed person
