A BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY

in

This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or use it for good.

What I do today is important,
because I’m exchanging a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever,
leaving something I have traded for it.

I want it to be gain, not loss;
good, not evil;
success, not failure;
in order that I shall not regret
the price I paid for it.
