Begin Again...

At the start of the day I find myself uttering Jeremiah's hope: "The LORD's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease.  His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning.  Great is Thy faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23)

I was blessed to rise this morning with the knowledge that whatever happened yesterday has been washed away in the night  I can count on the fact that God's lovingkindnesses never cease and his compassions never fail.  Alas it is a new morning full of hope and I am grateful for the truth that as I rise again this day, I have every opportunity at my fingertips to be my best me and even improve.  I can face the day triumphant in the knowledge that God's got my back and He will see me through.  I am able to draw breath, hear the bird's song or the mower in the distance, to see the last leaf fall from the tree or perhaps the new bud of Spring, to smell the aroma of fresh brewed coffee and taste the breakfast provided this day.  I am blessed, indeed. 

What are you grateful for today?  Do leaves dance outside your window on the breeze as the seasons change? Maybe you've seen the first snowflake of the season or the last, if that is your joy.  Look outside.  Choose life and to live it well this day.
