The Best Day of My Life
Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realised 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 am going to celebrate.
Today, I am 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 and the birds.
Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice,
Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I will make someone smile.
I will go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don’t even
know.
Today, I will give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down. I will tell a child how
special he is, and tell my own child how deeply I care for him and how much he means 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 will remember that to worry is just a waste of
time because my faith in God 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 moon and stars 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 God 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!
The day I am living
Will always be
The best day
Of my life for me.
