Have You Earned Your Tomorrow
By Edgar GuestIs anybody happier because you passed his way? Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through; Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along? Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way, Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today?
Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said; Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent? As you close your eyes in slumber do you think that God would say, You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today?
This year marks the 40th anniversary of McDonald’s first-ever Happy Meal, the kid’s delicacy that helped the franchise achieve fast food royalty.
According to retail data tracker Sense360, roughly one in every four orders at McDonald’s includes a Happy Meal. Every Happy Meal has either a hamburger or chicken nuggets, a side like french fries and a drink. And of course, a toy which has become collector’s items!
McDonald’s is celebrating their anniversary by re-releasing some of their most popular toys over the past four decades. You can expect to see Ty Beanie Babies’ Patti the Platypus and the Tamagotchi. And the fun doesn’t stop there! between November 7 through 11, McDonald’s will sell a “Surprise Happy Meal” in 90 countries that will include the retro toys.
