Take a deep breath. Take a few minutes to let the stress go.
Today will be just a memory in a short while and soon, the years will be adding
up behind you faster than you can imagine. Those days you thought you wouldn’t
survive? You did. The grief you would never get through? You made it. The
what-ifs you worried yourself sick over? Most never saw the light of day.
Today appreciate
the job. Be a light to the people around you and not the complainer, the grudge
holder, the angry one in the crowd. Life is so short. What if, because of
Christ, we can make life a bit brighter, more hope-filled, an answer to prayer,
an avenue to fill a deep need? What if today is different? Take a breath. Savor
it. Say a prayer. Help a stranger. Make a phone call. Bring light into the
darkness. Lean on others and ask for help when you need it and, most of all,
take strength from Christ.
Let your
light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your
Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Father,
Lift us out of worry, anger, greed and wasted days. Fill us
with Your kind of love and hope. Remind us to stop, savor, pray and listen just
for today.
In Jesus name,
Amen
