You
have a choice,Choose wisely!
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 the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad 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 rejoice 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 thorns
have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon
a
quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy
because I have 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!
