Everyday

Sometimes I forget to live everyday as a new day. Sometimes I own problems and issues that are just not mine. Max Lucado said a few words that I want to remember, and love, and own, and wrestle with, and cling to everyday.

"Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
and self control. To these I commit my day.
If I succeed, I will give thanks.
If I fail, I will seek his grace.
And then, when this day is done, I will
place my head on my pillow and rest."
