The Best Day Of My Life
"Today, when I woke, I suddenly realised that this is the best day of my life, EVER! There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did! And because I did I’m going to celebrate!!! Today I’m going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I’ve had so far; the accomplishments, the many blessings and yes even the hardships, because they served to make me stronger... I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart. I will marvel at God’s seemingly simple gifts; the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds…Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice. Today I will share my excitement for life with other people. I’ll make someone smile. I’ll go out of my way to perform an act of kindness for someone I don’t even know. Today, I’ll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down. I’ll tell a child how special he is, and I’ll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for them and how much they really mean to me. Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don’t have, and start being grateful for the wonderful things God has already given me... I’ll remember that worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God and his Divine Plan ensures every thing will be just fine. Tonight before I go to bed, I’ll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens. I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise god for these magnificent treasures…As the day ends and I lay my head down on the pillow, I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life. And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child, excited in the expectation because I know tomorrow is going to be... The Best Day Of My Life!

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish some place...you are among the top 8%of the worlds wealthy

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... You are more blessed than the Million who will not survive this week

If you have ever experienced the dangers of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, of the pangs of starvation...You are ahead of 500 million people in the world

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...You are more blessed than three billion people in the world

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...You are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder...You are blessed because you can offer healing touch.

Every day make sure to take the time to count your many blessings.

Thank you,
