Today I will Delete From my Diary Two Days—

Yesterday and Tomorrow…

Yesterday was to learn and tomorrow will be

The consequence of what I can do today.

Today I will face life with the conviction

That this day will not ever return.

Today  is the last opportunity I have to live intensely,

As no one can assure me that I will see tomorrow’s sunrise.

Today I will be brave enough not to let any opportunity pass me by,

My only alternative is to succeed.

Today I will invest my most valuable resource:  My Time,

In the most transcendental work:  My Life.

Today I will spend each minute passionately to make

of Today a different and unique Day in My life.

Today I will defy every obstacle that appears

on my way, trusting that I will succeed.

Today I will resist pessimism and will conquer the world with a smile,

with the positive attitude of expecting always the best.

Today I will make of every ordinary task

a sublime expression.

Today I will have my feet on the ground, understanding reality

and the star’s gaze to invent my future.

Today I will take the time to be happy and

Will leave My Footprints and My presence in the Heart of Others.

Today, I invite you to begin a new season where we can dream

That everything we undertake is possible and

We fulfill it,

With joy and dignity.

ONE DAY AT A TIME

Our lives are made up  of a million moments,
spent in a million different ways.
Some are spent searching for
love, peace, and harmony.
Others are spent surviving day by day.

But there is no greater moment
than when we find that life,
with all it's joys and sorrows,
is meant to be lived one day at a time.
It's in this knowledge that we discover
the most wonderful truth of all.

Whether we live in a forty-room mansion,
surrounded by servants and wealth,
or find it a struggle to manage
the rent month to month,
we have it within our power to be fully
satisfied and live a life with true meaning.

One day at a time -we have that ability,
through cherishing each moment
and rejoicing in each dream.
We can experience each day anew,
and with this fresh start we have
what it takes to make all our dreams come true.

Each day is new, and living one day at a time
enables us to truly enjoy life
and live it to the fullest.

OUR  ATTITUDES—

I am learning that I can select an attitude representative of God

by putting on behavior that is suitable.

We can “put on” things such as tenderhearted pity and mercy, kindness,

 a longsuffering, which has the power to endure whatever comes with good temper.

Notice the instruction to “put it on.”

These positive attitudes don’t just all on us.

My clothes don’t jump off the closet rack and wrap themselves around my body.

I have to select what I will wear and put it on.

We must do the same thing with our attitudes—

literally choose to wear them like clothing.

The attitudes we have and how we choose to act are our spiritual clothing.

Remember Ephesians 6, which instructs us to “put on” our spiritual armor,

including shoes of peace, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation

the belt of truth, and so on..

This spiritual clothing is provided as protection from the attacks of the devil.

It is effective for us only if we choose to wear it!

Kindness is an attitude that also will protect us in spiritual warfare.

Love must be put on, according to Colossians 3:14.

“And above all these things put  on charity,   (LOVE)  which is the bond of perfectness.”

From my years of study on the subject of love, I definitely believe that the person

clothed in love is protected from the evil one.

Today, receive the love of God and walk in love toward others.

Wear Love as a garment—clothe yourself with it.

I’d never thought of my attitude and moods as spiritual clothing,

 but God has been showing me this, and I want to share it with you..

May God bless you—in all His Ways.

 Cyrus Albertson tells of a violin maker who searched all his life for

 wood that would make violins with a certain haunting sound of beauty.

At last he found what he wanted in wood cut right at the timberline

 on a high mountain.

Timberline in the Rockies is the last strand of trees,

often twelve thousand feet above sea level.

Up there winds blow so fiercely that even back has no chance to grow

on the windward side.

All the branches point in one way. 

A tree must stay on its knees to live at all.

But the wood in these trees is found to be the most resonant in the world.

It makes wonderful violins and they in turn make music to stir men’s souls.

But these trees live on their knees.  So must we.

You who suffer, through your experience, can be turned to joy, usefulness,

and beauty of character, if you trust God and love Him with all your heart.

In His power suffering can be transformed,

 and you can become much more that you are.

One Day at a Time

I'm only human - I'm just a woman
Help me to believe in all I could be
And all that I am
Show me the stairway I have to climb
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What you'd have me do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time

Do you remember when you walked among men
Well  Jesus you know, looking below
It's worse now than then
Pushing and shoving, crowding my mind
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time 

Life
