Just For Today

Happy Easter everyone. Today was the day that Jesus Christ walked on this earth for a second time.

It really does amaze me, to think about the different things so many people have gone through. Our Grandparents for example; I know both of my Grandfathers were in World War II. I remember asking one of them about their experiences, and as he was telling me about it, you could see the wisdom and knowledge shining through his eyes. I love history, even the smallest but oldest of things have so much history. When I was talking to my dad about my Grandpa Holland, he got out this old box he used to take with him. Inside were so many coins, and news paper clipping, everything you could imagine. There was a Continental Dollar in there, I think it was about 320 years old. Just imagine how many people have carried that coin, how many people used that to feed their families. I think that is just so awsome. There was a article cut out, and it really was, almost inspiring, here it is:

Just for Today I will live through the next
12 hours and not tackle my whole life problems at once.

Just for Today I will improve my mind. I
will learn something useful. I will read something
that requires effort, thought and concentration.

Just for Today I will be agreeable. I will look my
best, speak in a well modulated voice, be courteous and considerate

Just for Today I will not find fault with friend,
relative or colleague. I will not try to change
or improve anyone but myself.

Just for Today I will exercise my character in
three ways. I will do a good turn and keep it a secret.
It and one finds out, it won’t count.

Just for Today I will have a program. I might not follow
it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from
two enemies – Hurry and indecision.

Just for Today I will do two things I don’t want to
do, just for exercise.

Just for Today I will be unafraid. Especially will I
be unafraid to enjoy what is beautiful and believe
that as I give to the world, the world will be a better place.

Have a Happy Easter! May you day be perfect, and beautiful.
