Happy ____day!

Pulled from a daily devotional:
Sometimes we come to an unhappy place in our lives. If we examine ourselves on those days, we will most likely discover that the things that make us unhappy are the fruit of the choices that we made earlier.  Today can be a new start. I think God gave us twenty-four-hour days because He knew that was all we could handle. His mercies are new every morning (see Lamentations 3:22-23). You can start over this morning and live today for the Lord. Determine to follow wherever God leads you, and do whatever He tells you to do. You can expect better tomorrows when you live right today.
One thing I’ve kind of lost track of in the last two weeks is living each day to the fullest. Before this point, I would often send simple messages to people (often random friends) stating Happy Monday or Tuesday or whatever day it was. I would typically get a response back like “Thanks!”, but on occasion I would get someone asking why I sent them that. To those people I would tell them that each day we wake, we should take full advantage of the opportunities the Lord has given us. He chose to give us more time to impact others lives. We should celebrate these opportunities. As I rebuild my faith in the Lord, I think this outlook will grow exponentially. I’m thankful for what I have today.

The intersection of lives
Filed Under (General) by cranst on 24-07-2009
As many of us work our way through life, we never take the time to notice those around us. We take for granted the people that are in our lives and we don’t really appreciate the impact they have. In many cases, people may step out of our lives, and we don’t even realize they’ve gone.
If we all just take a moment to look around, you may notice those who are around us. Each and everyone one of these people has impacted us in one way or another. Some people will enter our lives and remain there for a long time, while others come in quickly and leave at the same rate. Both cases have changed how we live. That impact could be small, or it could be large. Sometimes our musical tastes are broadened, or our food tastes expand to new things. Sometimes our whole perception of life is altered. Regardless how these people have affected our lives, they have. These changes are very important and should be appreciated. These people no matter how minute the impact, should be appreciated. We should take some time out of our day and tell someone around us that we appreciate them. We need to tell them before they leave this intersection of our lives.
A dear friend of a friend, once said, “Good people change the way you live.” Kyle could not have been more right. I never had the opportunity to meet Kyle Ritcheske, but he had a trememdous impact on many lives. He was good people. I hope all of
