How can you not pray for the privilege of another day?

Need a reminder? Every photo (on every post) has a caption:

gift of life
The gift of life is awakening
breaking dawn
on our way to 35k' feet
heaven on earth
Life is not a dress rehearsal
daily bread
Live like you mean it

When I’m on my A-game, praying is constant and focused, just below the surface of what people see – I’m praying with every breath I take – I’m so incredibly in tune with the infinite blessings God places in us and around us.

When I’m at my worst, I’m going through the motions, hardly aware that each breath is a gift. Well, breathing may be easy today for me (and you), but there are countless people who will take their last at some point today.

Why Is Today A Brand New Day?

Now. Today.

Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today. – Will Rogers

In some ways yesterday went much better than expected, and in some ways I still feel the pangs of things not accomplished. But today is indeed a brand new day. Note to self….Go!

I pray for the common sense to follow my own advice.

But It’s Too Hard (blah, blah, blah)

Have a Magical day! I did yesterday, January 7, 2012 (90 days ago). *Smile*

In response to yesterday’s post I can hear the echoes from a few, “But it’s too difficult. I don’t like doing it. It’s no fun for me”.

Play hard or go home. Just do it. The long way is the short cut. In everything give thanks….

Dear Son, Did You Hear Last Night’s Prayer?

Orlando daytime high was "frigid". Look at the spectators.

Dear Son, I was wondering about my own temptation to go through the motions, like last night as we said our dinner time prayer. I wanted to add an additional, timely petition that all homeless people would have a warm place to sleep. But I didn’t. Last night (Jan 4) was, after all, Orlando’s coldest night in a year.

Anyone else ever feel like this? If yes, how do you overcome it? If no, how do you avoid it?
