What did you do today? | Serving a term

Bismillah.

Astaghfirullah...how forgetful are we? I tried to recall the things I did today but struggled when it came to the fourth item. 

1. Changed the bedsheets.
2. Wrote a posting.
3. Whatsapping
4.???

Astaghfirullah....yet "He knows whatever you do by day!"
Surely His reckoning is in far greater detail. Subhanallah.

Came across this eye-opening ayah in The Jewels of the Quran - Al Ghazali's Theory [Kitab Jawahir Al-Quran]. So I learned for the first time that there are 763 verses considered as jewels of the Qur'an and this verse succinctly and strikingly describes how the Almighty controls our simple day-to-day living is one of the jewels.

He it is Who takes your souls into custody by night
and knows whatever you do by day;
then He raises you up during the day
that a term that has been appointed 
may be completed;
then to Him is your return;
then He will inform you of that which you used to do.
- Qur'an 6:60 

"He knows whatever you do by day."

What did you do today?

Surely you are better than me, you may recall perhaps a dozen good things you did today. 
Whatever it is, we are all serving a term.
Pray Allah grants us a good end to the term.
Ameen.
