Dreaming of tomorrow’s steps
Opportunities abound
Knocking now on hope’s doorstep
Unwavering faith aground
Staying awake and alert
Opportunities waiting
Willing spirit to assert
Seeing Father creating
Counting each heavenly star
Opportunities shining
Searching each earthly bazaar
Lauding Father’s designing
Taking more time to observe
Opportunities praising
Fulfilling notice to serve
Accepting grace . . . amazing!
From the words of Christian author and leadership speaker, John Maxwell: “With the right attitude and a willingness to pay the price, almost anyone can pursue nearly any opportunity and achieve it.”

2 Corinthians 5:17: “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being!”
Driving dusty country road
Spotting landscape’s mountain peak
Deciding to climb her now
Stopping at cozy diner
Feeling extra hungry now
Ordering one more entrée
Traveling to nearby park
Witnessing fall’s colors now
Taking plenty of photos
Locating brand new car wash
Seeing truck looks dirty now
Selecting supreme wash job
Seeing family in need
Buying them blessed, hot meal
Filling up empty tank now
Pausing, time with Father now
Praying for needs of others
Thanking Him for many gifts
Wrapping up for now . . . just another day!
