Today

Life is supposed to be lived today, not tomorrow.  This past week I found myself looking forward to tomorrow, only to find when it came I was still dissatisfied with it because I was still looking for something called tomorrow.  All I have is today.  Today is what matters. Today is the opportunity I have to make a difference.  Today is the day I must get my work done, for although tomorrow might look better, I'll have twice as much work to do.  Yes, I am a little homesick, and sometimes I want to leave.  But the truth is, its only 7 weeks till I am home, and I'll be wondering where the time went.  Then I'll probably be wishing I was back here in Africa.  I can't live in the future or the past, only today, the present.   A present, a gift from God that I only get to spend once.
