These Photos Weren’t Taken From Clever Angles Or

TODAY

•  I woke up early, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. My job is to choose what kind of day I will have today.
• I can complain because of the weather is rainy, or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered free.
• 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.
• I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
• 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.
• I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
• I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new friendships.
• I can whine because I have to go to work, or I can shout for joy because I have a job!
• I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with new titbits of knowledge.
• I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do household work or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided a shelter for my body.
• 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!!
