Today Is a Gift

Today is a fresh start
Does not matter what happened up until now
We can have a redo
Do not look back.
This is not a do-over or a rewind.

Today is a new beginning
We can write a new chapter
Paint a mural
Choreographer a new dance.
An opportunity to revitalize yourself.

Today is a gift
God has given to us
It is the first time 
And the last time
We will ever see this day
Enjoy it to the utmost – play, sing, laugh, twirl with joy!

A great thought, we would do well to be aware of. May God grant that we take advantage of His gift to us and be thankful for the grace He has given us. Colan Hiatt
