A Gift Everyday

One of my favourite quotes is one I saw on a display stand at a Ya Kun coffeshop (of all places!) a few years back.

"Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is God's gift
That's why we call it the 'Present'"

Who actually wrote the quote is debatable. Some attribute it to Joan Rivers, some say Eleanor Roosevelt. That aside, I try to remind myself daily that everyday I wake up and take my first breath is a gift. I've experienced a few scares over this past week which made me think and reflect on whether I deem each day God gives important to make full use of. Life is fragile and should not be taken for granted. If each day is a present from God, I should be cherishing it deeply and doing what He would want me to do.

Here's to making each day count, not just for myself, my family or ministry, but for God.
