EACH DAY IS SUCH A SPECIAL GIFT

A day untroubled yet by pain,

Possible set backs or added gain.

So much determined on what I do

Before the hours my day is through.

The unknown could rear its head

Causing some to end the day dead.

But I will look forward to each hour I live,

And my best intent I will always give.

Each day is such a special gift

Allowing each person to soar or drift.

My hours are precious, beyond price,

And I allow each moment to suffice.

Because all the moments when added up

Are to be used, and can end abrupt.

So carefully decipher how your hours you spend

And LIVE YOUR LIFE FULLY until the end.

Regardless your age and waning body

Do your best to be a “Hotty”.

Look your greatest, and smile big.

And be glad if you can dance a jig.

Move around and keep in motion.

As feeling old? Forget that notion.

Just remember, “if you don’t use it”

Then it’s certain, that “you will lose it!”

My prayer for today:

Lord, thank You for each hour that You  have granted me to live.  I thank You for these special years as I grow older that I will have the opportunity to know You more intimately.  Thank You for Your love, joy, and peace that you instill in my heart.  Use me this day wherever I go and to whomever I speak that I will plant Your seeds and give others encouragement.  Let my life portray Your countenance.  Fill my heart with compassion and love toward others.  Give me understanding according to Your Word in all aspects of my life.  “This is the day the Lord has made; We (I) will rejoice and be glad in it.”  Psalm 118:24.  

Thank You for your grace and the resurrection power of the cross so that I have the choice to accept eternal life through Your Son’s sacrifice to die for my sins.  Forgive me for all sin which I have committed this day through act, thought, word, or deed.  Thank You for Your forgiveness.

You are a great, great Father!

I LOVE AND HONOR YOU AND PRAISE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE.

Amen

To all my readers:  LIVE YOUR LIFE TODAY AND EVERY DAY TO ITS FULLEST!
