We are often fascinated by the unique while not recognizing the wonder of the normal. For instance, a day is considered unique when dates make interesting numbers. This past New Year’s Eve, the date was “123123.” I see things like this throughout the year, where specific days are highlighted because of some unique numerical feature. And that’s all well and good. But here’s what we should not miss—today is unique.
It may not be a holiday. Today’s date may have no exciting outcome. But still, today is incredibly unique. Why? Because there never has been and never will be a day exactly like this one. Oh, you may do many of the same things today as you did yesterday and will do tomorrow. But today will still happen only once. Thus, every day is unique and special. Every day, including today, is a special gift from God. Never overlook or discount the value of today.
