TODAY

Look to this day,For it is life,
The very life of life.

In its brief course lies all the realities and verities of existence.

The bliss of growth,The splendor of action, The glory of power -For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision, But today, well lived, Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.

Sanskrit Proverb

Don says: I think the telling theme of this message is the phrase "In its brief course" (life). I am 75 years old now, and when I look back I wonder where all the time went! All the wasted years. I am pleased that my wife and I managed to bring up four great children, and maintained a comfortable life style. I feel however, I did waste a lot of valuable time that I could have used helping the poor, puting something valuable back into life. I feel that I have cheated myself because it is such a rewarding feeling to put ones hand out to help someone who needs it. I have had so much, and there are so many who have so little. Don't wait, give of yourself. It is a really good feeling.
