A Time For Everything

Today is the day that was made just for me. I got up this morning feeling really good and ready for anything that comes my way, so I thought.

When we get up in the mornings, we often believe that this will be a good day filled with love, good friends and a job well done. We all expect everything to not only go well but to be a day where we are able to do all we desired to do and more. This is a reasonable desire because we have been getting up each morning with the same expectations since we were very young. It may not have been in our mind, but it was there in the back ground – it is a good day. So, with all that being said, we need to believe that everyday will be a good day. There are too many days when things didn’t go as we expected.

How many people believe that they are OK and everything they do is perfect? One, two or maybe three…is that a reasonable? Well, maybe yes, maybe no. We are always looking for more, especially from our husband, wives, our children and friends. We expect more from our fellow employees and being able to get to work on time and do a good job. There is nothing wrong with that. Some people even believe that the world owes them a living. The world owes them good health and a good life in general. The world owes them everything that comes into their minds and more. The question in why should they believe all that? Isn’t it reasonable to believe that the world owes no one anything? We get out of this life what we put into it. If we put nothing into it, then we’ll get nothing out of it, except maybe a headache.

As some of you may know, I am talking about the Law of Attraction. This law is one of the more important laws because it says, “likes attract like. If we attract love, we get love in return. If we attract good in our day, we receive good in our day. If we expect to do a good job at work, we will do good work. You get the idea, I’m sure.

Another law that is similar to the Law of Attraction is the Law of Cause and Effect. This law is another of those laws that are important for us to understand. These laws tell us that we do get out of this life what we put into it. I could now repeat what I have already said above, but there is no need for that. We all understand what is expected of us each day and each waking moment.

Let us take a look at what a man wrote many thousands of years ago. He wrote, there is a time for everything. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance, etc.. The writer goes on to describe more things that there is a time for, but it is not necessary for us to reiterate them here. We do understand that for every cause there is an effect as the Old Testament writer says.

Can we expect each day to wake up feeling good and have high expectations for the day? Yes, and it is our right to believe and expect it to be so.
