And it would be easy to be cynical about this effort. It is true that for all of the money raised, the children are still very sick. It is possible that the money would be better spent on medical research. But for the children and their families they get something special. A Good Day. When someone is sick the burden and the worry can be a crushing load to bear. One Good Day can be worth its weight in gold.

It is easy to get caught up in the hectic pace of our lives. We can get so busy that we can forget to appreciate a day as a blessing. No matter what it is, if we lost it tomorrow, could we be thankful for having it today?
Each day is a blessing from God, and not just the one good day where we get to travel or meet someone famous. Each. And. Every. Day.

This is the story of Derek and Heather Carr. Derek Carr is a quarterback for the Oakland Raiders in the NFL. He and his wife Heather tell the story about faith and the birth of their son. It is worth a watch on the video below.
To be grateful for the one day. It is hard to imagine. The birth of a child is full of excitement, anticipation and worry. It is a time where we have great hope, but also know that sometimes things go badly. Very badly.
It is an amazing testimony of faith to be able to say in a circumstance like that, If I lose it all tomorrow, I will be thankful for your blessing today.
Each day is a gift. We never know what tomorrow will bring. We never know if what we have today might be gone tomorrow, so we need to take a moment to appreciate our blessings and if today is all we have, let's make it a good day. One Good Day.,
