This Is A New Day

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, The morning sun is shining into my room as I sit here typing on my keyboard. The morning sun brings radiant light into my room after a good night's rest. A couple of days ago as I opened the curtains to look outside my backyard there was a squirrel, a rabbit, and a robin enjoying the morning sunlight. I watched as they sat together in the grass for a couple of minutes. The robin was the first to fly away but the squirrel and rabbit remained as I walked away from the window. Yes, a sure sign that Spring is here and all the sounds of Spring. The birds singing in the morning, the wind blowing through the new growth on the trees, the sounds of rain drops falling on the newly sprouting buds and bulbs. Welcoming sounds of joy and hope. Yesterday morning I was able to take my morning walk in the park because the wind was quiet for a while. It is a wonderful small park just big enough to walk around and quaint enough to house the usual park offerings. A little theater for shows or plays, pickleball courts, playground area with swings and climbing equipment and of course a gazebo to sit in. If you walk around the whole area it is about a mile. Yesterday I took my time walking around because I watched as the squirrels scampered up the trees and the birds flew in and out of the tree branches. There is a verse found in Psalm 118:24, it is written, "This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." So shall we! Abba Father, Gracious Lord, thank You for today, for this marvelous and glorious day that You have made. And it is not only a new day but with it comes new mercies for it is written, "The LORD's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23). O LORD, as each dear and precious sister-in-Christ walk into a new day may they rejoice and be glad in it and also look forward in anticipation in what You are doing in their lives. Praise You for Your loving kindnesses and for Your compassion. In Jesus Name, Amen. Welcoming in the new day,
