The Best Day
Of My Life
Gregory M Lousignont
Today, when I awoke, I suddenly
realized 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
have had so far: the accomplishments,
the many blessings, and, yes,
even the hardships because they
have 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 unexpected 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 her and how much she means
to me.
Today is the day I quit worrying
about what I don't have and
start being grateful for all
the wonderful things God has
already given me.
I'll remember that to worry
is just a waste of time because
my faith in God and his Divine
Plan ensures everything will
be just fine.
And 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 my pillow, I will
thank the Almighty for the best
day of my life. And I will sleep
the sleep of a contented child,
excited with expectation because
know tomorrow is going to be
the best day of my life, ever!
