My Dear Daughter,
A friend sent me this write up in my email and on reading through I thought I should share it with you.
“Sometimes, our days can be so full and busy that we forget how precious and fragile our time on earth really is.
It can be so easy to allow little things to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something didn’t go your way, or someone said something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to get our focus off if we let it. But, we have to remember that each day is a gift. If we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss out on the beauty that each day has to offer.
I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show people that you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable, a gift from heaven above. You have been given time that can be invested or wasted – Hours that can be used or misused.
That’s why the psalmist prayed to God, “Teach us to number our days.” Psalm 90:12 He was saying, “Teach us to value every moment we have been given so we can live a life pleasing to you our God.”
My beloved daughter always remember that each day is a gift from God our creator and strive to focus on the positives of the day.
Love you always,
Dad
