THE BEGINNING OF A NEW THING

 

This is the beginning.  I don’t know where it will go from here.  Maybe nowhere.  But I know this, writing these letters is our way of making life count. Isn’t that what we all want?  To do something that matters. I have this anonymous writing in the front page of my Bible to remind me how I should live.  (Kind of ironic that a writing from an anonymous author inspired me to leave anonymous letters.)  I hope it will encourage you…

 

“This is the beginning of a new day.  God has given me this day to do as I will.  I can waste it or use it for good.  What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.  When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something I traded it for.  I want it to be gain, not loss; good not evil; success, not failure; in order that I should not regret the price I paid for it.”
