Do we get a tomorrow?
Why is it that we saw Christmas decorations before we even got the Halloween ones down? And why is it that in the hours before the Thanksgiving feast many of us were making up shopping lists for the coming weekend?
We always seem to be looking ahead to what’s next. Today doesn’t seem to hold our interest. But the problem with such a mindset is that we’re not promised a tomorrow.
Those plans we’re making? That next thing we can’t wait to arrive? They may never come.
Today could be it.
Today might not seem like much. It might not have arrived with much fanfare. And it might not be able to hold a candle to the unknown possibility that tomorrow may hold,
but it’s here.
Today’s available, right now, for us to grab and make the most of.
What are you going to do with it?
I know what I’m going to do with it. I’ll enjoy the sunshine/rain/wind and lift my face in the moment because I am here. And I went to a memorial service yesterday for someone who is not.
And I went down memory lane with all those I have loved who are no longer here for me to tell them or show them how much I love them.
None of us know what our last day will be, so I will remember Og Mandino’s lesson in his book, “The Greatest Salesman in the World.”
I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will maketh every hour count and each minute I will trade only for something of value. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best. I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.
