THE SCULPTOR
I woke up early today excited
over all I get to do
before the clock strikes midnight.
I have responsibilities
to fulfill today. I am important.
My job is to choose
what kind of day I am going
to have.
Today I can complain because
the weather is rainy or ...
I can be thankful that the grass
is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't
have more money or ...
I can be glad that my finances
encourage me to plan my
purchases wisely and guide me
away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my
health or ...
I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that
my parents didn't give me
when I was growing up or ...I
can feel grateful that they
allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses
have thorns or ...
I can celebrate that thorns
have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of
friends or ...
I can excitedly embark upon
a quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have
to go to work or ...
I can shout for joy because
I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because
I have to go to school or ...
eagerly open my mind and fill
it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly
because I have to do housework
or I can feel honored because
the Lord has provided shelter for
my mind, body and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me,
waiting to be shaped.
And here I am the sculptor who
gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up
to me. I get to choose
what kind of day I will have!
Have a GREAT DAY ... unless you
have other plans.
