Things may not be going the way that I would desire for them to go, but I know that some things could be a whole lot worse. In spite of this, I still hold to my same statement “Today is the best day of my life.” You see I know that being alive gives us a chance to change, a chance improve, a chance to give it another try, a chance to forgive myself, a chance to forgive others and most importantly a chance to give thanks to Almighty God for another day that we have never seen before.

I know that when this day is gone, we will never see it again or enjoy it again. Just ponder that for a minute or two. All the ups and downs, the trials and tribulations will continue to come and go. They are apart of life and the growing process. Therefore I will not worry about them, for I believe that I will be alright. This day is the best day for me. For yesterday when I rose there were some things that troubled me, but some how I made it through them. I noticed that when one situation was over, another stood before of me. Yet, I was able to over come that one as well. When I really ponder on it, today is such a good and blessed day for me today.

I realize today that through it all, that I had made it through another day. Therefore I have learned to thank GOD for this day that he has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what comes my way. I know that I (and you) can deal with it because once GOD calls us to another day, for it is written “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)
