Go with God. Let it be your intentional choice that today you will follow the Lord. Say it with me, "I entrust my life to Jesus Christ. I serve the Lord." A transformation will be underway in you and in everyone you are around.
Time will tell. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Don't think too much of yourself. Mr. Jackson, my 6th grade social studies teacher assigned us to make a timeline of Virginia history. I would have gotten an A but lost a letter grade when I included my birth along with the construction of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel as notable events in 1959. In red ink, Mr. Jackson's response to the inclusion of my birthday: "This has not yet proven historically significant."
Cultivate your future. Even or especially if you think our time is limited, go forward with God. Learn how to do something new or better. Give love and attention to your family and friends. Tithe and save for a rainy day.
Bless somebody today. Don't delay in helping when you are able. You certainly don't want your help to come too late when you need it.
Improve your reputation. Change a complaint into something constructive. Turn your grimace into a grin, your grumbling into a gift of grace. You can only bring life by grace through faith. Any other way leads to corruption and ruin.
Leave something behind. Live today so that tomorrow others will still be thankful you were here. Accomplish something before you head into the weekend. Let not one thing you are supposed to complete be left undone. You only want goodness and mercy to have a reason to follow you around.

I think that it is sad that a 6th grade teacher would dock a letter grade for including your birth in the history timeline. It IS an event that happened in VA history; just because the teacher questioned its historical significance doesn't mean it should have been omitted! You were/are significant, whether or not that individual recognized it.
