Yesterday ~ Today
  
Yesterday I met a stranger...
Today this stranger is my friend.
Had I not taken the time to say hello,
or return a smile, or shake a hand, or listen,
I would not have known this person.

Yesterday would have turned into today
and our chance meeting would be gone.
Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me.
Today they are gone...
and tomorrow will not bring them back.
Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew tomorrow would be here?
But this is not to be, so take the time TODAY
to give a hug, a smile, an "I love you."
JUST FOR TODAY,
...smile at a stranger
...listen to someone's heart
...drop a coin where a child can find it
...learn something new, then teach it to someone
...tell someone you're thinking of them
...hug a loved one
...don't hold a grudge
...don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
...look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are
...look beyond the face of a person into their heart
...make a promise, and keep it
...call someone, for no other reason than to just say hi
...show kindness to an animal
...stand up for what you believe in
...smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind
...use all your senses to their fullest
...cherish all your TODAY'S
 
Today you were thought about by me!

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near."  Hebrews 10: 23-25
 
Have a wonderful weekend in the Lord!
