Psalm
118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad
in it.
Hebrews
13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Quoting
from the Sanskrit:
Look
to this day for it is life, the very life of life.
Today
well lived makes every yesterday a dream of
happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Many
years ago a colleague asked me to replicate this quote in
calligraphy. It was very meaningful to her and it became meaningful
to me. What does it mean to live a day well? What actions make a
day well lived?
As
I analyzed these questions, these thoughts emerged:
Was
I true to my values today? Did I act in ways which are congruent
with my Christian beliefs?
Did
any action of mine make the world a better place for someone?
Did
I show and receive love for/from my family and friends?
Did
I accomplish or make progress toward accomplishing goals or meeting
responsibilities?
Did
I consciously enjoy nature or my surroundings?
I
do encourage you to give thought to what is important in making your
life well lived. I wish for you tomorrows which are visions of hope.
Lord,
help us to be mindful of your guidance in making wise choices and
focusing our lives in ways which are beneficial to others. Amen.
