Five Minute Friday

Five Minute Friday: Everyday

Okay, I made a mistake today.  I normally just write for five minutes and then quit.  Only today after I had posted, I realized that it was suppose to be about everyday.  So here goes....

Everyday, I wake up to a new day.  One that has a clean slate.  Perhaps, yesterday, I made a mistake, said a word that hurt someone, forgot to spend that precious time with the Lord.  But today, is a new day.  One that I have yet to mess up.

Everyday, I am given a new chance to help someone, give a smile to a sad face, give a helping hand to one that needs it.  It is always my choice what I do with my day.

Just this morning, as I was talking with Him, I was so thankful for a new day.  In my mind's eye, it was like I could see a white board and it was up to me to write what I wanted on it.  My prayer, is that when I lay my head down on the pillow, I can look back and see that I was kind and that I walked in the way that the Lord would be proud of me, His child.
