This was written while I was on retreat. The theme of the weekend was "Only for Today". That inspired me to write this poem of "Only For Today"

Only for today Only for today I will be the best that I can be. Knowing that like others I am under construction Only for today I will let go of the things that I cannot control. Leaving the work for my masters hands Only for today I will be fully present Living in the knowledge that the past is a cancel check, the future a promissory note and the present is the true Gift Only for today I will be kind to all of God’s creation To live in peaceful coexistence with all that our creator has made, is to honor Him Only for today I will love and respect all others Understanding that to truly do God’s will requires us to love all of his children Only for today I will be grateful for all the gifts he has given me, especially the gift of writing and speaking. May I always seek gratitude in my heart for the gift of life. Amen Tuchy .Tuchy Palmieri 2008 www.healing-habits.com http://tinyurl.com/4yyoxjd

Carl,
AMEN to this wonderful write. This verse especially touched me:

Only for today I will let go of the things that I cannot control.

Leaving the work for my masters hands

I'm guilty of praying for things and still holding on to them for dear life, not giving them fully to God. I worry about so many things, but in our Master's hands he takes care of things.

Blessings,
~Linda
