Today

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

Today is here! Start with a smile and resolve to be agreeable. Do not criticize. Refuse to waste valuable time.

Today has one thing that is equal with everyone—time. We will draw the same salary in seconds, minutes and hours.

Today-do not waste time, because the minutes wasted yesterday are as lost as a vanished thought.

Today-refuse to spend time worrying about what might happen. Spend time making things happen.

Today-refuse to spend time worrying about what might happen, Spend time making things happen.

Today-be determined to improve yourself for tomorrow you may be wanted, you must not be found lacking.

Today-be determined to do things you should do. Determine to stop doing the things you should not do.

Today-Begin by doing and not wasting time. In one week you will be miles beyond the person you are today.

Today-Stop saying” If I had time for you will never find time for anything—if you want time you must “take” it.

Today- Do not imagine what you would do if things were different. They are not different. Make success with what material you have.

Today-act toward other people as this might be your last day on earth.

Do not wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow may never come.

Prayer: O God be with us as we begin another day. May we look upon this day as another day of opportunity. We thank you, that your love is not measured by an inventory of our progress, but in Christ Jesus, his life, death and resurrection. Sustain us all with your strength and love. Amen
