You know how ice cream shops sometimes advertise the "Flavor of the Day."
I think we might turn that around and consider that each day has its own flavor.
Maybe you have had a day recently that had the flavor of magnificent. Oh, I hope so. That is perhaps the best flavor. Or, sadly, you may have tasted troubling, for that is certainly a flavor we all know and dread.
Then there's ordinary. The everydays that seem to roll on, one after the other, and you look back and wonder what it is all adding up to...until you realize...that the flavor of ordinary can be transformed into a new flavor of the day: extraordinary.
How might we change ordinary into extraordinary? Lend a helping hand that surprises someone, complete a do-it-yourself fun project that you have been putting off, make yourself sit through an entire sunset, skip a meal and feel the vigor of hunger and the victory of self-denial.
Plan today to make ordinary tomorrow into extraordinary Saturday. Ask God to give you an idea, His idea, for changing the flavor and anticipate the outcome.
Just think--in 24 hours, you could be tasting extraordinary.
Planning tomorrow makes even ordinary today exciting.
