| A PERFECT DAY By: Joseph J. Mazzella Did you ever have one of those days that seemed almost perfect?� I had one of those days recently. It was a beautiful day outdoors here in the mountains of my home.� Autumn was at her peak.�Entire trees were alive with color and glowing in the sunshine.�The yellow trees shone like little suns lighting up the woodlands.�The orange trees looked like blazing campfires giving their warmth to all.� The red trees were so glorious it seemed like a sunset had moved down among them. It was a feast for the eyes and soul atthe same time. The perfectness of the day wasn't limited to the wonderful weather and spectacular scenery either. It was also a day when all the hearts around me were full of happiness. It was a day when choosing and sharing love and joy seemed as simple as breathing. It was a day when problems were handled with smiles and frustrations with laughter.�It was a day when God gave me a taste of Heaven while I was still here on Earth. Almost all of us have a day like this from time to time. It is a day when we seem to be standing on a pinnacle of peace, a mountaintop of joy, and a ridge line of rapture. It is a day when we reach the highest of highs. It is a day that we wish all of our days were like. The truth is not everyday can be a day like this. Still, if you choose love, joy, and oneness with God everyday can be a good day. If you share your love and joy with those around you everyday can be a peaceful and happy day. If you live the way God meant for you to live everyday can be a delightfully wonderful day.� Not everyday can be a perfect day, but everyday can have love, joy, smiles, laughter, peace, happiness,goodness, glory, kindness, wonder, delight, and oneness with God in it if you only choose to make it so. |
