A few years back, well OK a lot of years back I signed my daughter up for a really nice day camp in the area. I went for my lungs, I mean it was really expensive. Five pools, lockers, trips the whole Long Island spoiled kids nine yards. Allison should have been thrilled, when I was 11 I would have thought I won the lottery. Low and behold she was not happy. Every morning whining and complaining about having to go to camp. I would wait outside with her for the private little air conditioned bus and count the moments until I could run away to work. To say she was on the last nerve of my body is to put it mildly.
One morning when we were waiting and she was whining I said (and I quote) "Allison, God loves you so much, he loves everything about you and because He loves you so much He has given you this day. It is your day to enjoy or be miserable about. You choose. But, my darling daughter, He loves me too. He loves me so much that He has given me this day too. It's my day and I will not let you ruin it."
I want to let you know that God or your Higher Power loves you so much that He or She has given you this day, don't give it away or let anyone steal it from you. Enjoy.
