"Best Day Of My Life"

 

 

Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever

 

There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today;but I did!
And because I did I'm going to celebrate!
Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far:
the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships
because they have served to make me stronger.

 

I will go through this day with my head held high and a happy heart.
I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts:

 

the morning dew,
the sun,
the trees,
the flowers,
the birds.

 

Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice
Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people.
I'll make someone smile.  I'll go out of my way to perform an
unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know.
Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems
down. I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I
love just how deeply I care for them and how much they mean to me.

 

Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start
being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me. I'll
remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God
and his Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.

 

And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the
heavens. I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon,
and I will praise God for these magnificent treasures.

 

As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow,
I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life.
And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child,
excited with expectation because I know tomorrow is going to
be the best day of my life, ever!

 

"Handwriting on The Wall"

 

 A weary mother returned from the store,
 Lugging groceries through the kitchen door.
 Awaiting her arrival was her 8 year old son,
 Anxious to relate what his younger brother had done.

 While I was out playing and Dad was on a call,
 T.J. took his crayons and wrote on the wall
 It's on the new paper you just hung in the den.
 I told him you'd be mad at having to do it again.

 She let out a moan and furrowed her brow,
 Where is your little brother right now?
 She emptied her arms and with a purposeful stride,
 She marched to his closet where he had gone to hide.

 She called his full name as she entered his room.
 He trembled with fear--he knew that meant doom
 For the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved
 About the expensive wallpaper and how she had saved.

 Lamenting all the work it would take to repair,
 She condemned his actions and total lack of care.
 The more she scolded, the madder she got,
 Then stomped from his room, totally distraught

 She headed for the den to confirm her fears.
 When she saw the wall, her eyes flooded with tears.
 The message she read pierced her soul with a dart.
 It said, I love Mommy, surrounded by a heart.

 Well, the wallpaper remained, just as she found it,
 With an empty picture frame hung to surround it.
 A reminder to her, and indeed to all,
 Take time to read the handwriting on the wall.

 

 

 

Don't tell God how Big your storm is.
Tell the storm how Big your GOD is !

 

Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
