Enjoy Each Day
Our lives can be so busy –
There’s so much we need to do.
Surely God wants us to have
Some enjoyment too.
Taking time for work and play
Helps keep the day in balance,
As we pray and look to God,
He’ll lovingly light our way,
To help us live abundant lives
With enjoyment for each day.
– Joyce Mary Ecochard
