The 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 clouds, 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.
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!
