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.
