Even a gift is just a material if you don't see the heart behind the material.
"Recognizing the heart behind the material makes it a gift."
A gift is not a material, but an outlook. In that sense 'Today' is an eternal gift. While there can be several sources for every gift, 'Today' is that precious gift that you either get from Him, or it just means that you have already lived your last day. Not everyone who went to sleep last night woke up this morning. Some force above still thinks you are worthy of another 'Today'.
Buddha said, "Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."
