Today is the Day by Donna (Ensign) Woods

Today is the day...
A moment in time we stay.
We cannot return to days gone by,
Or erase tears we once did cry.
We cannot retrace the path,
Or change the choices of our past.
Today is the day...
A moment in time we stay.
We cannot fast-forward to tomorrow
So to avoid heartache and sorrow.
We cannot leap ahead...
We must LIVE today instead.
Today holds the key,
For the tomorrows we may see.
Remember and learn from the past,
So you will know joy ....forever to last.
...Long for distant shore,
As you unlock tomorrow's door
But LIVE today...
Allowing God to lead the way
Embrace the moments of THIS day...
For only a moment...it will stay.

Before I Sleep by Donna (Ensign) Woods

Before I fall asleep
A moment with God, I keep.
To thank Him for the day
And the blessings along the way.
To tell Him how sorry I am...
When I failed in His plan.
I pray for those who crossed my path
Who shared a tear or made me laugh
I give to Him my dreams and fears....
And trust Him with my hopes and tears.
Before I fall asleep
A moment with God, I keep.

Moments by Julie Short

Overwhelmed with:
Fear
Loneliness
Debt
Agendas
Pain
Anxiety
Anger
Grief
Guilt
Yesterday
Tomorrow
Lack of time
Lack of energy

But, what does God want me to do today?
How can I reach out and feel less lonely today?

Praise God that I don’t have to live yesterday today
And I don’t have to live tomorrow today.

I can live in the moments of this day,
some will be good,
some blah,
some challenging,
some painful,
and some beautiful, unforgettable.

If I live the moments of this day,
cherishing the good moments
celebrating the great ones
letting go of the ones I have no control over
(after all we only have control over ourselves,)

if I push away the remnants of yesterday
and I don’t grab tomorrow before it comes

If I simply live in the moments of this day,
one moment at a time,
relying on God to lead, guide and protect
Hiding His word in my heart.

I don’t feel overwhelmed.

Moments are doable
they don’t have room for yesterday
or tomorrow.

They only happen today one at a time

Praise God for moments!
