That I learn in every day
What would be the point
In rising?
Who am I
To think
That there is nothing more to be learned?
Or that somehow I'm entitled
To rest on my laurels?
Surely I can build
upon what I've already learned
To be something more
than what I was yesterday
But if I wake
And stop trying
To discover something new
I am shortchanging myself
and more importantly
...God
Today I Pray…
To the lessons of the day
...that my mind stays open
To better understand someone
Who is misunderstood
That I don't rush to judge
But seek to understand
That I keep reaching
Keep striving
Keep learning
Keep living
And do not rest each day
Until I've learned something new
…However great or small

An absolute beautiful prayer.
Your beautiful and important prayer, has just become my prayer too. I want to keep learning, to keep growing and to realize the importance of not resting on my laurels. Do you now write for Dayspring cards? If you don't, you should.
