Sometimes I struggle to be present in today. I think we all do. But this is the day the Lord has made, and we're called to rejoice and be glad in it! There must  be a reason for that! I think it's because every day is a gift from God and it is good and He has good things in it for us! Although we might credit Grand Master Oogway (the elderly Galapagos tortoise) in Kung Fu Panda with this quote, I believe it was Eleanor Roosevelt who first said "Today is a gift. That's why we call it 'The Present'." What gets in our way and prevents us from living like today is a gift? That's what today's episode is all about! Listen in!
