Today is mine. Yesterday is gone!


Each day brings new opportunities along with responsibilities. If we look forward to each day with confidence and excitement it will affect the end results greatly. Sometimes the end results won't be exactly what we had imagined. It might even be better! Being faithful to our obligations and commitments is where we begin. How our attitude and our spirit responds to events in our day is the key to achieving positive results.

It's good to stimulate your mind with strong uplifting ideas of what you wish to accomplish. All the great inventors and philosophers did just that. Fresh opportunities might just be around the corner, even in the midst of our obligations. I hope you choose to make this day a great day in your progress toward an exciting life.

The picture below is taken by me when I was in Alaska a few years back. It was a lovely walking trail that took us through a Carolina forest. The sights of tall straight coniferous trees and large leaves on dark green undergrowth was awesome.

TODAY IS MINE

by Myrtie Fisher Seaverns

Today is mine. Yesterday is gone.
We've no promise of tomorrow.
May I live today with faith and trust.
Nor care nor trouble borrow.

Today is mine. Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow is yet to come.
May I fill today with loving deeds,
Close sheltered by love and home.

Today is mine. Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow may never be.
May God give me strength to live this day,
Then I'll face tomorrow free.

Today is mine. Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow is not yet mine.
God help me use the hours today
According to His design.

Today is mine. Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow yet seems far away.
The golden hours of today are mine;
In God's hands is each new day.

Today is mine. Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow but looms afar.
May I strive to live my best today
Guided by God's own star.
