Today is Thursday, February 9th, 2012; Karen's Korner #2254

Anyone who is a Max Lucado daily devotional subscriber the last week plus have focused on enjoying each day. Good advice!
 
Here are a couple:
 

You Have Today

Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!  ~ Psalm 90:14

 

You can’t spend tomorrow’s money, celebrate tomorrow’s achievements—or resolve tomorrow’s riddles.

You have today!

Paul rejoiced in prison.  David wrote Psalms in the wilderness. 

Paul and Silas sang in jail.  And Jesus prayed in the garden of pain.

Suppose—you choose not to work or worry your day away, but decide to give it a fair shake. 

You trust more.  Stress less.

Amplify gratitude.  Mute the grumbling. 

And what do you know?  Before long the day is done and—surprisingly decent. 

It’s what I call a day changer!  So you resolve to do the same the next day and the next. 

Days become weeks.  Weeks become months.  Months become years of good days. 

It’s the way good lives are built.  One good day at a time!

“This is the day the Lord has made!  Rejoice and be glad in it!”

Have a great day—every day!

Yesterday’s Gone

In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.   ~ Psalm 33:21

 

You no longer have yesterday.  It slipped away as you slept. 

Sorry, what’s gone is gone.  The second hand of the clock refuses to tick backward.  You no longer have yesterday.

This is the day the Lord has made!  Live in it.  You must be present to win!

This is the day the Lord has made.  We will rejoice and be glad in it!  Let the words sink in.  God made this day, ordained this hour, designed the details of this wrenching moment.

Each day emerges from God’s drawing room.  Including this one!

Eighty-four thousand heartbeats.  One thousand, four hundred and forty minutes.  A complete rotation of the earth.  A gift of twenty-four unlived, unexplored hours.

Here’s a day changer for you… If you can stack one good day on another and another, you’ll link together a good life!

Choose to make it a great day—every day!
