Start your day off with a great big smile because every day should be a GREAT DAY.

The minister's little six-year-old girl had been so naughty during the week, that her mother decided to give her the worst kind of punishment. She told her she couldn't go to the Sunday School Picnic on Saturday.

When the day came, her mother felt she had been too harsh and changed her mind. When she told the little girl she could go to the picnic, the child's reaction was one of gloom and unhappiness.

"What's the matter? I thought you'd be glad to go to the picnic." her mother said. "It's too late!" the little girl said. "I've already prayed for rain!"

TODAY’S WORD

TODAY’S REFLECTION

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4: 22-24

Choose happiness. Begin the day with "This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it." Trust God and expect the best.

Change your words, change your world. Avoid "Why me, Lord?" Instead say, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)

Dare to be who you are. You are unique and God has made you a special person.

Live to give. You'll be surprised at the blessings you receive, when you help others. Most of all, when you have an attitude of gratitude for God's love, you'll find joy in your life.
