This day with God, we can make offerings by enthusiastically living with a purpose, meeting together with eagerness, and being interested in and caring for others. This poem was written to restore power and enthusiasm into each day.

Before Christ, offerings Involved preparation But now, there is No hesitation. By accepting Christ, There is rest And each day is special So offer God your best. Enthusiastically Live with devotion, Spur each other on, And get in motion. Have genuine Concern for each other, Marvel at things nearby, And things to discover. Make everything count, Worship with songs of praise, And find excitement In all your days. Poem by Mark Shields – © 10-14-2021 Inspired by “Special Days” Photo – Taken on a special sunny day when we went downtown for an afternoon in my hometown of Waco Texas. Many times we think the exciting things in life are far away but excitement might be right in your back yard. A sunset, a sunrise, wildlife, or birds in the sky.
