The Sculptor's Attitude
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do
before the clock strikes midnight.
I have responsibilities to fulfill today.
I am important.
My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or...
I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or...
I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my
purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or ...
I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me
when I was growing up or ...
I can feel grateful
that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or ...
I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or ...
I can excitedly embark upon a quest
to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or ...
I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or ...
eagerly open my mind and fill it
with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or ...
I can feel honored because the Lord has provided
shelter for my mind, body and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me.
I get to choose what kind of day I will have!
