Today Is Precious

I was sitting here thinking about what to write today.  Nothing was coming to mind, so I sat down and I started writing a letter to the Lord.  I told Him I didn't know what to write today.  I told Him about all of the things that were on my mind...about all the things I needed to do.  I asked the Holy Spirit to help me to organize my day.  I told Him I didn't want to waste my day because it was precious.  Then I realized, that was it.  God wanted me to realize and talk about how precious today is...

Each day that the Lord gives us is precious.  It's a new beginning; a chance to start over.  It's a new day to talk to God, to spend time with God.  It's a new day to spend time with our family.  Time goes by so fast, and we never know when our time will be up.  So spend each day with God.  Spend it with your family and your friends.  Let them know just how much they mean to you.  Yes, you may need to clean the house, you may need to cook, you may have errands to run.  But what's more important is the people in your life.  

Don't waste time.  Don't waste today.  God has given us this day, and He wants us to enjoy it.  He wants us to live for Him.

                      "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24
