AFVOA Newletters of Year 2004

Page 43 of 153 ~by Adrian Rogers~ What Day Shall I have? I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the day ends. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have. Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or… I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free. Today I can feel sad that I don’t have more money or… I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste. Today I can grumble about my health or… I can rejoice that I am alive. Today I can lament over all that my parents didn’t give me when I was growing up or… I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born. Today I can cry because roses have thorns or… I can celebrate that thorns have roses. Today I can mourn my lack of friends or… I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships. Today I can whine because I have to go to work or… I can shout for joy because I have a job to do. Today I can complain because I have to go to school or… I can eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge. Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or… I can feel honored because Life has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul. Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have! Have a GREAT DAY … unless you have other plans.
