"I'm Gonna Live For Today"

As I pray each night, one of the first things I say is thanking God for that day. Each day is a gift from God. He chose to give us another day to spend time with the ones we love, learn about ourselves, help others, grow closer to God, bring His kingdom to earth, the list goes on and on. There is so much I can learn everyday. There is so much I can do! And because there is so much to do and keep us busy throughout the day, it is easy to overlook days of our lives. One thing I am learning to do is to not take a single day for granted. So many people live for the future, but really, we should live for today and focus on what we can do today, because as far as we know, today is our last day on earth. Of course we need to prepare for the future, but we shouldn't have to motivate ourselves to get through today so we can get to the future. Only God knows the fate of our future and when our last day on earth will be. So live everyday to the fullest, do everything you can to enjoy the day, try your hardest to make someone else's day, make the best of every situation, love everyone around you, be on fire for God, and shine His light everywhere you go. I know that God has everyday planned out already, so I need to appreciate that day and thank him for it. Even though I may get caught up in all my activities, as I pray each night, I realize how awesome it is that I got to live another day on earth, praising God and bringing up there, down here. Everyday is a gift from God. (:
