Attitude - Blessed Are The Flexible For They Shall Not Break
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do
before the clock strikes midnight. I have
responsibilities to fulfill today. I amimportant. My job is to choose
what kind of day I am
going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather
is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass
is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money
or I can be glad that my finances encourage me
to plan my purchases wisely and guideme away from waste.
Today I can gripe and grumble about my health
or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents
didn't give me when I was growing
up or I can feel grateful that they
allowed me to be born.
Today I can complain and cry because roses have
thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or
I can excitedly embark upon a quest
to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine and whimper because
I have to go to work or I can shout
for joy because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to
go to school or eagerly open my
mind and fill it with rich new
tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because
I have to do housework or I canfeel honored because the Lord
has provided shelter for
my mind, bodyand soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And here I am, the human sculptor who
gets to do the shaping within the
borders of God's design.
What today will be like is up to me.
I get to choose what kind
of day I will have!
