Fresh start
It's a new day. It's a fresh start. Monday is the beginning of the work week, but it's also the day after a weekend of rest, unless you're like our family, exhausted from huge accomplishments of reorganizing our snug little house, completed at a snail's pace, along with the blessing of ministering to and enjoying the company of a church family.
Each new day, as my friend Christina always reminds me, is a reminder of His new mercies toward us, which are new every morning. Every.single.morning. That means, even though yesterday was a bad day, a day for which you desire a "do-over," He pours mercy upon you in His grace and makes today new.
A blank canvas, a clean chalkboard, a reboot.
The peace that flows from those mercies is like a gentle zephyr that blows across a wilderness of dried up, wilted sprouts. It's rejuvenation, the water that pours over my spirit, as unquenchable as the desert floor, filling me to overflowing. Utter delight.
Great is His faithfulness.
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. [Psalm 1:1-3 NLT]
How is your day going so far? We have today off for President's Day. *huge exhail of relief*
What brings you delight?
