The Gift of Time

Twenty- Four Hours

Cindy Tuttle
Each morning Jesus
gives us a holy
and awesome gift

The gift of
twenty-four hours
We open this gift every day

Jesus gives us an empty
sacred box and we
can put in this box whatever we chose

We can put stress, worry,
fear, and feel we
just want to get the day over with

Or we can put peace,
faith, and the gratitude
of knowing we are loved

I admit sometimes this
gift comes with incredible
challenges and pain

But even with those
experiences we can still
chose to find peace,and gratitude

We may need help
with our box at times
which is also an act of faith

At the end of the day
we bring what we put
in the box and give thanks

Even if at times
we also bring ego, anger,
resentment, Jesus understands

What was in our box today?
What can we put in it tomorrow?
How can we thank Jesus for his awesome gift?
