June 5, 2018 Tuesday)
Some events took place on this day, June 5, that you probably remember. Others happened before you were born, like in 1752 when Benjamin Franklin flew a kite to demonstrate that lightning is a form of electricity.
On this date in 1933 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed a bill that took the United States off the gold standard.
On this day in 1967 the Six-Day War began when Israel responded to being attacked by defeating the surrounding Arab nations in only six days.
It was on June 5, 1968 that Senator Robert Kennedy was shot by an assassin. He died the following day.
President Ronald Reagan died on this day in 2004.
If you dig into history, you will most likely discover that every day is significant for the events that transpired at that time. That means that every day is important, and holds potential for all of us. Let us live expectantly.
Look to this day:
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendour of achievement
Are but experiences of time.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
And today well-lived, makes
Yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day;
Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!
