How Fast?

by Kay Heitsch

Let's say we are telling ourselves we are having a bad day. We're in a real funk. We've had more than one cup of coffee with Mr. Pity, then the phone rings.

We answer the phone in our most pitiful voice because we've told ourselves that we can't help how we feel. On the other end of the line is a person with a cheery voice telling us that we have won the Publisher's Cleaning House contest! The caller tells us that a TV crew will be at our house in one hour to present us with a check.

Hum? I wonder how fast our pitiful attitude would change? I can just about put money on the fact that most of us would get up, get dressed, and try to look our best.

Every day is a fantastic gift from God. It's much better than winning the Publisher's Clearing House contest. So let's choose to rejoice in each day the Lord brings.
