‘One Day’
by David Nicholls
What are days for?
Days are where we live
They come, they wake us
Time and time over
They are to be happy in
Where can we live but days?
It's one of the great cosmic mysteries.
How it is that someone can go from being a total stranger to being the most important person in your life
Imagine one selected day struck out of your life and think how different its course would have been.
Think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link… on that memorable day.
As One Day reminds us, life (and love) is shaped by a series of days, some ordinary, some unforgettable. You could make your wedding day one for the highlight reel with this beautiful reading.
