This Day...

The world turns round....guided by the loving hands of an all powerful God....

The sun rises up and over the hills....and the high lofty  mountains of earth...

A soul stirs.....

It's a new day.......

At the very moment we lift our heads from the sweetness of rest.....

We have a choice at hand.....

Who will we serve? Self....that says.."Just a little longer in bed...I'm so tired...I deserve it!"?

 Or our dear Heavenly Father.....who whispers softly...."Arise my child...for the morning has come! Come drink at the fountains of living water! I want to give you peace.....perfect trust.....Yes my child....come....I want to be with you....for I love you!

This is where the whole tune of the day starts! Who will we serve?

What will be written today by the recording angel on the clean, white pages? Will they be filled with self...uncaring words....unthoughtful deeds.....unlistening ears....uncaring hearts....

Or will they be filled with JESUS? All about Him......Humble deeds of tender mercy....a song of praise...A smile.....tender words of cheer.....

What will this day hold my dear friends? All of it will be recorded my the hand of an angel....

What oh what will be written there?......

It's up to us!

What will we do with this day?

                "This Day"

This day is fragile - soon it will end
And once it has vanished, it will not come again
So let us love with a love pure and strong
Before this day is gone

This day is fleeting
When it slips away
Not all our money can buy back this day
So let us pray that we might be a friend
Before this day is spent

This day we're given is golden
Let us show love
This day is ours for one moment
Let us sow love

This day is frail - it will pass by
So before it's too late to recapture the time
Let us share love, let us share God
Before this day is gone
Before this day is gone
