Every day makes a difference

Have you ever had a bad day?
A bad day is extremely frustrating because everything that can go wrong does!
On bad days cars malfunction, keys get lost, children get sick, deadlines are missed, opportunities are lost, reputations are tarnished, mistakes are made, lies are told, wounds are inflicted and pain is endured. Bad days are unavoidable. They often come unannounced and give us little opportunity to respond to them. Bad days, at the very least, are aggravating.
Bad days don't discriminate. Children have bad days. Adults have bad days. People of all races cultures and creeds, all have experienced those irritating times when everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
You can't tell what kind of day it'll be by the way it begins. A day that starts off great can very well end up a bad day.
Some days start bad and end the same way. Then there are other days that start out bad but before the day is over, end better than they began. We know it's been a bad day if we left home with plenty of money but came home broke. If we leave broke and come back broke, it's still a bad day. But if we leave broke and come back with our pockets full..then we've had a good day.
No condition in life is permanent. Neither success or failure is fixed. Both are conditional.
On July 3, 1776 America was a colony of England, but on July 4th, one day later, the whole world changed. What a difference a day makes!
On Wednesday, October 23, 1929 millionaires in America were dancing in the street. The next day, Thursday, October 24th, the stock market crashed and millionaires instantly became beggars. Hundreds jumped from windows in anguish over their sudden poverty. What a difference a day makes!
One day a man is a lowly janitor. They next day he wins the lottery and is a multimillionaire!
What a difference a day makes!
Have you seen the television show that sings this song? "Come and hear the story of a man named Jed. A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed. Then one day he was shooting at some food and up from the ground came a bubbling crude.. Oil that is, black gold." One day they were hillbillies, the next day they were living in Beverly Hills! What a difference a day makes!
There are some days that are different from others because they are turning points.
They are days that mark transitions, shifts, and life-style changes. These days are important because of the way they initiated change in our lives. The day we decided to get married instead of shacking.
The day we decided to stop smoking. The day we decided to tone down our wild and reckless pattern of living; all of these were important days because they made a difference in our life-style.
The day that Christ arose from the dead was a great day. It was a day that changed the entire world and the lives of millions of people.
Today, will be a good day because it is a day that the Lord has made just for me!
