Like a tide our work should rise,

Each later wave the best;

Today is a king in disguise,

Today is the special test.

-John Boyle O'Reilly

Lord, help me be aware of the glory of this very special day. Let me love as You love, give as You give. Allow me to see this day as You do - full of opportunity, precious and fleeting. Help me to see those You have created in Your image as You see them.
