the gift

It's been said many times that every day is a gift. Really it is true although many times the day doesn't feel like a gift, but a major pest that should never have happened.

There are the days when I would rather not face the world. When staying in bed all day sounds like a wonderful idea. When I just want to act very sad desperately hoping that somebody will notice and just talk to me.

I wrap myself up in myself instead opening the gift of the day for what it is. When I don't unwrap the gift of the day I fail.

I don't notice others hurting. I don't see the that the grass and trees have turned green. I can't feel the breeze on my face. My lips won't smile in laughter all because I left that one precious day in a box and never touched it.

Open the gift of the day. Live it to the fullest. You never regret doing all you can to see God's grace, but you will regret the moments that never be redone.

"My lips won't smile in laughter all because I left that one precious day in a box and never touched it." Loved this! So true…I hate to someday get to heaven and find out all the beautiful things I missed because of the same thing. Great post. (Visiting from Gypsy Mama)

amen and amen. While each day my pass slowly, the years fly by. It leads me to wonder how many more gifts will I leave unopened.
Thank you for sharing from your heart.
