Today-List (or To-do List)

 This is the day the LORD has made; 

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Vivid blue and gold beginnings are thinning...

Let's make today the best we can, okay?

To honour the Giver of its gift!

Today list, or today's to-do list...

...to make its quest to give my best

To tasks both great and small

And bear in mind not far behind

A youngster’s footsteps fall

To recognize with patient eyes

The time it takes to learn

To humbly host and make the most

Of what will not return

To not give up but seize the cup

That brims with grace and light

To trust the One who draws the sun

From morn to noon to night

To make love’s care a living prayer

To make the prayer a hymn

To choose the right, fight the good fight

Until today grows dim

To see God’s art with thankful heart

And praise him for His works

To seek His Hand to help me stand

Where deceit’s army lurks

To keep my eyes fixed on a prize

Beyond death's camouflage

To keep hope sure and motive pure

To hate pride's decoupage

To tune this barge to heed the charge

To love God first, then man

And not to fret about the 'yet'

In some tomorrow-span

But to propose to smell the rose

Before its petals drift

And treat today in such a way

That we honour its gift

Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?
