I discovered this author quite by accident, but know that it really was no accident. Sometimes we need a little reminder. I did. Perhaps you do too.
MAXIMIZE THIS DAY
God determines the number of your days, but you determine how they are spent. The Psalmist said “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, today is all you’ve got. And you can begin your life over today, if you live by these words: “Today I will delete from my diary two days-yesterday and tomorrow. Yesterday was for learning; tomorrow will be a consequence of what I do today. Today I will face life with the conviction that this day will never return, that it may be the last opportunity I’ll have to contribute because there’s no guarantee I’ll see tomorrow. Today I will be courageous enough not to let opportunity pass me by; my only alternative will be to succeed. Today I will invest my most valuable resource; my time, into my most important possession the life God has given me. I’ll spend each minute purposefully, making today a unique opportunity. I’ll tackle each obstacle knowing that with God’s help I can overcome it. Today I will resist doubt and pessimism and warm my world with a smile. I’ll maintain a strong faith, expect nothing but the best, take time to be happy, see every task as an opportunity to honor the Lord, and endeavor to leave His footprints on the hearts of those I meet.” John Boykin wrote, “Time is your life-nothing more, nothing less. The way you spend your hours and your days, is the way you spend your life.” So pray, “Lord, help me to maximize this day.”

Had to do something today that scared me. Several months ago the same opportunity presented itself with different people. I didn’t do it, and the results were disastorous. Yesterday’s check was cancelled, Todays was maximized. Thank you Wayne.
You’re welcome. So glad you liked it. So happy to be back. 🙂
