Beautiful Day

Today looks to be one of those picture perfect days. The forecast is for sunshine, blue skies, and a high in the low 70's........ sorry, my mind was drifting to the golf course. This is one of those days where you often hear comments like, "Get out and make the most of it" or "You'll want to take advantage of this day." Both statements are true, but couldn't that be said, or maybe shouldn't that be said, about every day?

I'm not sure we realize what a gift from God each day is, mostly because one comes after the next and so on. We just take each day for granted because there is always tomorrow, right? The truth is, regardless if it is sunny and warm, rainy, or cold and gray, it is a day we should treasure. It is still a day that we can get something accomplished. It is still a day that we can share the love that God has placed in us. It is still a day in which we might experience God's presence. Does that still sound like just another day?

Finally, as much as we try to avoid thinking about it, there will come a time when tomorrow doesn't come, at least not in this life. Hmmm, do you think that will be just another day?

Today, remember to hug your loved ones and tell them that you love them. Those words can never be said enough. Give God thanks and praise  for the many blessings this day holds, especially the ones that you usually take for granted. Be sure to smile. Try to make a new friend. You know the saying, "Make the most of this day (and every day)."
