Allen, Jr. I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do beforethe clock strikes midnight.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 orI 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 wiselyand guide me away from waste.Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive. Today I can weep over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they did not abort me.Today I can cry because my church is not all that I want it to be or I can celebrate that I have been saved and am a church member.Today I can agonize over my lack of friends or I canexcitedly set out to acquire new relationships.Today I can complain because I have to go to work orI can shout for joy because I have a job.Today I can gripe because I have to go to school oreagerly open my mind and fill it with new knowledge.Today I can grumble because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for me.Today lays before me, waiting to be shapedAnd I am the sculptor and I get to do the shaping.What today will be like - is up to me.I get to choose what kind of day I will have!*****************We “make” our day, don’t we?
