great words from a great man

My Papa {my momma's daddy} was always the sharer of the good word{s}. 

Both biblical and quoteworthy. 

There is one quote in particular that has meant a lot to all of the grandchildren. 

My cousin used it in her wedding, my brother repeats it on a daily basis, etc. 

It is a great reminder of a way of thinking and I want to share it with you.

This is the beginning of a new day.

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

I could 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.

Tomorrow this day will be gone forever,

leaving in its place something I have exchanged for it.

I pray the things I do today will be for good, not evil,

success, not failure

so that I will not regret the price I have paid for it.

I've also created a print for the first five lines of it & have sent it off to the print shop so that I can let it hang in my house.

This is a daily reminder for my family.

Maybe it can be one for yours as well.

P.S. My best friends will be in town in an hour and a half and this makes me very happy. I haven't seen them since March & I know they're excited to see how Layla has grown! Expect pictures :)
