Breath. What a precious gift! Thank you for giving me another day of life.
Thank you that though I didn't make a good choice, I had a choice of what to eat for breakfast this morning. Help me to remember that millions of little tummies will remain hungry today.
Like a sheet of clean paper this day stretches before me just waiting to be written on. I don't want to scribble mistakes or doodle my time away, but as Mother Teresa once said, "I want to be a pencil in the big hand of God writing His love letter to the world." Today is an opportunity to be Your hands and heart to my family, friends, community, and world. Help me not to blow it.
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
(Psalm 19:14 HCSB)
Amen. |
