Welcome to Just for Today! When choosing a name for this blog, we blog writers went through several ideas in our minds, but kept coming back to this one. Too often, we tend to think about the past, or work towards the future, but in doing so, we sometimes forget to also live fully in today, seizing the small, unexpected moments life brings us. We hope that, by holding ourselves accountable in a blog for all of you to see, we will remember to renew our own spirits, and to embrace each moment for what it is, just for today. We also hope that, in doing so, we will inspire you, the readers, to do the same.

Father God, just for today
Help me to walk, your narrow way
Help me to stand, when I might fall
Give me the strength to heed your call
Chorus:
May my steps be worship
May my thoughts be praise
May my words, bring honor to your name
(repeat chorus 2x)
It’s always today
It’s never tomorrow or yesterday; it’s always today, just like the saying goes: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift – that’s why we call it the present.”
Today will be gone in just a few short hours, never to return again. Let’s embrace it while it’s here!

Hey there, Davonne. Someone forwarded this post of yours to me. It’s cool to see that a little song I wrote was inspirational to you. It’s an encouragement to me to see. Have a great day!
