A friend wrote me the other day and
told me that I sure do seem to have a lot of good days in my
life. This friend wanted to know what is the difference
between having a good day and having a bad day. I thought
about it a long time and I think that I finally figured it
out. The difference is about 15 minutes.
Think about it. Just how long does it
take to really live the way that God always meant for you to
live? How long does it take to say, "I love you God. Thank
you for my life"? How long does it take to say a little
prayer for someone you care about? How long does it take to
tell a friend, "You are looking good today"? How long does
it take to stop your child in the hallway and give them a
hug? How long does it take to bend down and smell a flower
as you walk down the street? How long does it take to
scratch your cat’s chin or pet your dog’s head? How long
does it take to share a warm smile and a heartfelt "thank
you" with a cashier in a store? How long does it take to
compliment a loved one, to share a laugh with a friend, and
to think a joyous, optimistic thought? You can do all of
these things and even more in just 15 minutes a day.
Is 15 minutes a day too long to turn
your life around? Is 15 minutes a day too long to live a
life full of love, joy, and oneness with God? Is 15 minutes
a day too long to make this world a better and more Heavenly
place? If you want to be doing good in your life then spend
that 15 minutes a day "truly" doing some good in your life.
If you want to be doing even better try 20, 30, or 60
minutes a day. If you do you will see how the power of your
love can change the world moment by precious moment. If you
do you will feel the love of God inside you and hear the
laughter of angels surrounding you as you bless the world
with your life. Who could ask any more for just 15 minutes a
day? |
