A number of years ago Dr. Ted Morter shared with a group of people I was with a song titled, It’s A Great Day by Jay Pinto. Dr. Ted gifted a copy of the song to each person present. For a long time I used this song as a ring tone on my cell phone. It really is a good thing to be reminded that each day provides us with the opportunity to make it a Great Day if we choose to. The song begins with the words, “Today I have the opportunity to be the best me ever! Today is a Great Day!” What would your day look like if you started it with such an attitude and maintained it as you lived out your day?
I was reminded in a recent devotional reading in the book, Grace For Today that “every day could be a great day in our life if we only appreciated the present and passing moment. Every day is a new birth, with new prospects and opportunities that fall to us from the loving hand of God, so that we can live.”
The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 these words, “We also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain. {2} For he says, ‘I heard you at the acceptable time, and in the day of salvation I helped you.’”
Take the opportunity to cherish your positive memories, but focus on the importance and appreciate the possibilities and benefits of today for creating even greater memories in the future. Today is a precious gift live it in such a way that you are acknowledging it as such. SEE (SHIFT your mindset, ELEVATE your energetic awareness and ENHANCE the quality of your life, taking note the difference it will make in your day. Have a great day, because it is a GREAT DAY!
