Great Reading

Hello :)

I was just doing some reading before I went to bed tonight. I'm reading OG Mandino's "Choice" He is a great author and I defiantly recommend any of the books to everyone. I'm about to start the next OG book called The Greatest Secret in the World. Cant seem to put this guy down!

Here are a few words that I really wanted to share tonight. Really made an impact on me and wanted to you to feel the strength of a few inspiring words as well.


"I choose a better way to live.
Henceforth, each morning, I will awake and fall to my knees and give thanks to God for the gift that only he can bestow-a new day. This is my most priceless possession. If ever I should feel ungrateful and treat this miracle lightly, I need only open my morning newspaper to the obituary page and scan the long list of names there-names of people who would be most pleased to change places with me despite my problems. There are no problems in the cemetery. I would rather be here than there. I am grateful for this fresh opportunity. I will show my gratitude in everything I do, this day. A sundial counts only the hours of sunshine, but I will count them all. I will treasure each minute. I am immortal until my work is done and I have only begun. Thank you for these hours God. I needed this day to prove that your faith in my ability was not misplaced. I depart from home smiling. The birds-when did I last hear them singing? How fortunate I am to be here." -OG Mandino

Goodnight :)
-Jess
