Ordinary Days

It is almost natural for us to gear up for the extraordinary. We can buckle up for harsh times and prepare to give the storms of life our best shot. We can easily slide into significant good times. Proms, weddings, graduations, reunions can all be times of excitement for us. However, what do we do with the ordinary, run of the mill, nothing to write home about kind of day? How do we prevent a series of ordinary days from sliding by without getting something out of them? Of course, most of our days will be ordinary. Maximizing ordinary days has allot to do with our expectations. We have to tap into our faith. We can get closer to God on an ordinary day. We can do something to improve ourselves on an ordinary day. We can enhance our family relationships on an ordinary day. We just have to believe there are opportunities out here for us everyday. There are! "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation." (Psalm 68:19) You and I have an opportunity for growth today. I plan on finding mine.
