PRISONER EXPRESS

I am celebrating today because I am living in this present moment. I am awake of life. Being that we're human sometimes we tend to forget things. Especially when we take life for granted. Sometimes we think we're deserving of things we do not have, and take measures to try and apprehend. Not realizing, that every day we live is a gift from God. We ought to be celebrating, living our lives in celebration. This morning I woke up. I seemed just like another ordinary day to me. And so that means that I took life for granted. I went to sleep last night not even realizing that tomorrow was not promised. It could have been my last. I failed to give God thanks for all that he had done for me that particular day. Instead of rejoicing and celebrating my celebration of life, I became complacent. There it is again, I took life for granted. What is it going to take for me to arise to a higher way of life? What steps must I take? If this is a start, right now I am celebrating my celebration of life. Have you ever thought, I could be dead and in my grave, but today I'm living. This deep inhalation of breath that I just took is cause for celebration. This means that I have, this open door that I can go in and our of to talk to a power greater than myself, is a cause for celebration. My higher power is an awesome being who is concerned about me and has my best interest at heart. He warns me, He tells me, not to trust in my own strength. When trying to do things to alleviate the nagging problems in my life, He had made a way for me. That's oh! so much better. A higher way of living. If that is not cause for celebration, than what is? That problem in your life there is a remedy for it. You've been up all night tossing and turning in your bed. Taking things for granted! If you believe, you shall receive. So where is your faith? Me and you today let's celebrate our celebration of life. How can you do this? Just simply say, God I thank you today. I appreciate all the things I have which you have given to me as a gift of life. Here in prison there are a lot of things that I have to go without, things that I fool myself into believing that I need to make my quality of life so much better. I can't live my life without these things, so what must I do? How will I get this, how will I get that? Just simply say with meaning and deep sincerity in your heart. Come on, repeat it after me. Say God I give it all up to you, this desire to want things beyond my power of control to get for myself. I praise you today in celebration of my life. You are the God of my life. You were the power that created me and you are my Dear friend. What are you doing that's cause of celebration? In this life that we're living we will encounter many opportunities to host a moment of celebration. Although bad things do happen to good people, even to us individually but its up to use. It's our choice how we choose to respond. To me, the opposite of celebration is living one's life in misery. Don't let life get you down but instead overcome life in victory and celebration. And so for now, I'll leave you celebrating.
