THE SCULPTOR'S ATTITUDE...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 go to. Today I can complain 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. Author Unknown Back to Christian Poetry
