Today, I will live as if it is the most important day I possess, because it is actually the only day I have.
Today, I will whine and complain less. I will be thankful more, because I know that gratitude makes a better person out of me.
Today, I will criticize less and praise more, because the people I love need to know that I love and approve of them.
Today, I will take more time with God my Father and less with earthly pleasures. I know that I need His strength and guidance.
Today, I will pray more and play less. I want my heavenly Father to know my heart, to hear my concerns, and to realize how thankful I am to be His child.
Today, I will remember my brother more and myself less. I will consider his feelings, his needs and wants more and my own a little less.
Today, I will speak of Jesus more and my other interests less.
Today, He must increase, and I must decrease (John 3:30).
Today, I will remember the souls of all men. I will remember the person who is rude to me still has an eternal soul. I will remember the youth and the weak might see me do something wrong and imitate it. I will remember that my good may encourage another to do right.
Today, I will remember that I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me.
Today I will live by faith in the one who loved me and gave Himself for me.
