Today

By Phil Sander Via Bulletin Gold

Today, I will live as if it is the most important day I
possess, because it is actually the only day I have.
Today, I will whine and complain less. I will be
thankful more, because I know that gratitude makes a
better person out of me.

Today, I will criticize less and praise more, because
the people I love need to know that I love and approve
of them.

Today, I will take more time with God my Father
and less with earthly pleasures. I know that I need His
strength and guidance.

Today, I will pray more and play less. I want my
heavenly Father to know my heart, to hear my concerns,
and to realize how thankful I am to be His child.

Today, I will remember my brother more and
myself less. I will consider his feelings, his needs and
wants more and my own a little less.

Today, I will speak of Jesus more and my other
interests less. Today, He must increase, and I must
decrease (John 3:30).

Today, I will remember the souls of all men. I will
remember the person who is rude to me still has an
eternal soul. I will remember the youth and the weak
might see me do something wrong and imitate it. I will
remember that my good may encourage another to do
right.

Today, I will remember that I have been crucified
with Christ; and it is no longer I who live but Christ
who lives in me. Today I will live by faith in the one
who loved me and gave Himself for me.
