Today I will...

Today I will have a Happy day because....
Today I will not strike back.
If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind, I will not react in a like manner, but will instead I will strive to respond with kindness.

Today I will ask God to bless my enemy.
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that indivisdals. I understand “enemy” could be a family member, friend, neighbor, co-laborer or stranger, any estranged relationship without peace.

Today I will be careful about what I say.
I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip and I will endeavor to be an encourager.

Today I will go the extra mile.
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person, physically, emotionally, spiritually and prayerfully.

Today I will forgive.
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way and ask to be forgiven, should the occasion rise.

Today I will do something nice for someone but I will do it in secret.
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another, seeking to improve their quality of life in God.

Today I will treat others the way I wish to be treated.
I will practice the golden rule. “ Do unto others as I would have them do unto me” with everyone I encounter.

Today I will raise the spirits of someone who is discouraged.
My attitude, my smile, my words, my statement of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.

Today I will nurture my body and my mind.
I will eat less, I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body, for it is His temple, His home where He abides as I seek to renew my thoughts and think on things that are good, wholesome, pure, righteous and honorable.

Today I will grow spiritually.
I will spend a little more time in prayer today. I will continue reading something spiritual or inspirational to be vessel of His sanctification. I will find a quit place and listen to God’s voice.
