The gift of today

Every day is a gift you've been given
Make the most of the time every minute you're livin'...

"Life Means So Much" -- Chris Rice

Today was a welcome respite from the meat grinder of last week. Mostly work, that is. I found myself once again inwardly fuming at what is going on at my workplace. Illogic drives me up the wall, and I felt like I was drowning in it, with all the changes in work coming at me. Don't get me wrong -- with the economy the way it is right now, I am truly grateful to have a job, and the post office has provided for me and my family in so many ways. Just wish that it would make more sense.

I have neglected the basics of what I believe for a long time now -- prayer, reading the Word and applying it -- that my reactions at work mirror so many of those who do not claim to be disciples of Jesus. (Side note -- if what I say is truly wrong -- please -- call me on it.) I can be abrasive, but should I be that way if I claim His name?

So what to do? Back to the basics. Make the most of the time I have every day and live it for the One I claim to follow. Live for Jesus and Him first.

Anyone want to come with me?
