The Present Moment

I may never see tomorrow; there is no written guarantee and things that happened yesterday belong to history.

I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past, I have just the present moments, I must treat them as my last.

I must use this moment wisely, for it soon will pass away and be lost for ever as part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet. Be a friend unto the friendless. Make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today may never be undone and friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won.

I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray and I thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day.
