What will you do with your extra day?

Posted by MelissaOPatton ~

It’s here. Finally! Just what you have been praying for, begging for and needing…an extra day. Now that it’s here, what will you do with your extra day? Will you do something special for yourself…get a massage, leave work early, go shopping? Will you lay in the bed? Will you spend it with your kid(s)? Perhaps you’ll do what you’ve been putting off…dusting the ceiling fans, washing all the curtains, plant some bulbs. Or maybe you have something more meaningful in mind…volunteering at a soup kitchen, homeless shelter or mentor a young person. Will you use this day to launch something new? Or even better learn something new?

I challenge you to do something today that you wouldn’t ordinarily do. Do what can’t be done…God has given you a gift of an extra day. Live it!
