A prayer for today

This is a beginning of a new day.




God has given me this day to use it as I will.




I can waste it or use it for good, but what I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.




When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it.




I want it to be gain, and not loss; good, and not evil; success, and not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price I have paid for it.



This day is all we have. Is there someone to whom an act of kindness- not tomorrow but today- could make a difference?



Today, whether we spend it well or throw it all away, will be gone tomorrow.



What is there to do that is worth our effort???
