‘When today becomes exactly like yesterday, then I may have lost the plot’ ~Jack McArdle

It is only natural that we compare today with other days and with events in the past. We quietly hope that the weather this summer will continue to be better than what we got last year. We compare our plans for the summer to what we did last year. But there can never be close comparisons because today is so much different to yesterday, the day before and every day in the past. If today is exactly like yesterday in our own lives then it’s time to take a look at why this may be so. Today is God’s precious gift to us. It’s the only day we can do something that will make a real and lasting difference. While today will not be perfect, with challenges and distractions, it is up to us to make this day our own and leave our mark on it. God asks nothing more from any of us only to do our best. How am I going to leave my mark on this day?
