Glory and Praise

 Imagine if everyone rose in the morning and thanked God for another day of life? What would the world be like?  How would this change people's days?  When I think about it, every second, every breath is a gift from God. Each moment is a testament to God's love for me.  My life is a gift.   How thankful am I for this gift, from which all other gifts flow?

Sometimes for me my life seems meaningless because I don't have power or money or fame. Thee gods of the world tell me that I should try to make more, have more, be more. These gods tell me not to be satisfied because others have more, are more, control more. When I put aside thee worldly gods it is clear to me that I have enough.  I am enough.  I don't need those worldly things to be happy.

I need to rise each morning and thank God for another day of life.  I need to use this gift for the good and to create love and happiness in the world.  I need to spread my influence to the world rather than to let the world influence me.
