THIS DAY IS YOUR'S, RISE ABOVE... AND MUCH MORE... HAVE A TERRIFIC DAY! PRETTY PICTURES ALSO

With every rising of the sun
Think of your life as just begun.

Another Chance by Helen Steiner Rice

How often we wish for another chance
To make a fresh beginning.
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning.

It does not take a new day
To make a brand new start,
It only takes a deep desire
To try with all our heart.

To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
                                                                   And to add a little sunshine

                                        To the world in which we're living.

So never give up in despair

And think that you are through,

For there's always a tomorrow

And the hope of starting new.

Rise Above by Anonymous

The world is full of people,
Content to be what they are
Who never know the joy of success;
They lack the will to go that far.

Yet in this world there is a need,
For some to lead the rest
To rise above the average life,
By giving of their best.

Are you the one who dares,
To try when challenged by the task
To rise to heights you've never dreamed,
Or is that too much to ask?

This can be your year,
For great purpose to achieve
If you accept the challenge,
And in yourself believe.

A New Day by Anonymous

If life seems at its lowest ebb,
Because a day's gone wrong.
Let not your heart be troubled,
For a new day soon will dawn

And we can never be quite sure,
Just what it has in store.
Since each one is so different,
Than the one just gone before

As it penetrates the darkness,

With its soft and tranquil beams.

It calms even the most restless soul,

And brings new hopes and dreams

So when a days been troubled,

And the night is dark and long.

Lift up your fallen spirits,

For a new day soon will dawn

 It Is Your Turn Now by Rumi
 It is your turn now,

You waited, you were patient.
The time has come,
For us to polish you.
We will transform your inner pearl
Into a house of fire.

You're a gold mine.
Did you know that,
Hidden in the dirt of the earth?
It is your turn now,
To be placed in fire.
Let us cremate your impurities.

 This Day Is Yours, Another Gift  Anonymous

God built and launched this day for you;
Upon the bridge you stand;
It's your ship, aye, your own ship,
And you are in command.

Just what the day trip will do
Rests wholly, solely, friend, with you.

Your logbook kept from day to day
My friend, what will it show?
Have you on your appointed way
Made progress, yes or no?

The log will tell, like guiding star,
The sort of captain that you are.

For weal or woe this day is yours;

Your ship is on life's sea

Your acts, as captain, must decide

Whichever it shall be;

So now in starting on your trip,

Ask God to help you sail your ship.

 Each day is not the beginning of a new chapter in your life; this is the beginning of a new book! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 6:33-34 (NKJV)33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. James 4:14(NKJV) 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~JUST WANTING TO SHARE A FEW THINGS....
