Today

Hello friends! I was going through some stuff that has been laying around on my bar (I'm not talking about a wet bar or anything). Do you have spots in your house that get really cluttered?  I definitely do.  Spots? What am I talking about?  I have huge places in my house that get cluttered. Well, my bar (again not a reference to an alcoholic beverage storage area) is a place that collects a lot of stuff in our house. You can find just about anything you need up there. Say you needed an Easter hat. Your in luck there is one on my bar, or what if you were just dying for some strawberry lip gloss. You guessed it.  It's on my bar. I came across a Publix Babyclub newsletter while I was trying to declutterfy the messy bar.  I love Publix!! They send me coupons and helpful advice for my kids. What a great store! Anyway, it had a little poem on the newsletter that I would like to share with you.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why we call it "The Present".

I really like this poem. I want to live today like it is a present, because it really is. It's a present from a sweet Father who loves me and you dear folks. I desire to make great efforts today to not let the little petty things get me all flustered and frazzled (like my cluttered bar). Remember today is a gift from Him to us.  Let's show Him how much we appreciate it by the way we live today.
