Count This Day as Precious
My dear son,
Receive today's hours as something precious. A day is not lived well simply because you fit more work into it. Consider with your Father what is worth loving and giving your time to.
Do not keep postponing the things that matter as though the days ahead were endless. Speak to someone you appreciate, and find courage for an apology if one is needed. Ask me for wisdom to number the days of your life.
I want you to enjoy the time given to you with care. Bring your whole heart to work, rest, and moments of loving others. This day, too, is one of the precious days that make up your life.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 90:12
WEB12So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
