1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day.
«Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it» Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. «The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart.» I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. «He who guards his lips guards his soul.» Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!! For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. «Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good…» Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up !! To the Lord.
«I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.» Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !! For something higher. «Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path.» Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !! Your Prayers.
«Do not worry about anything; Instead pray about everything.» Philippians 4:6

Just the other night, at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into, my old high school flame
And as I introduced them, the past came back to me
And I couldn’t help but think of, the way things used to be.

She was the one, that I’d wanted for all times
And each night I’d spend prayin’, that God would make her mine
And if he’d only grant me, this wish I wished back then
I’d never ask for anything again.

Sometimes I thank God, for unanswered prayers
Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn’t answer doesn’t mean he don’t care
Some of God’s greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers.

She wasn’t quite the angel, that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me, in her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days, there wasn’t much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he’s doin’ after all.

And as she walked away, and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord, for the gifts in my life.

Sometimes I thank God, for unanswered prayers
Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer, doesn’t mean he don’t care.

Some of God’s greatest gifts…are unanswered,
Some of God’s greatest gifts…are all too often unanswered…
Some of God’s greatest gifts…are unanswered prayers.
