Psalms 118:24 NCV “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice in it.”
As I begin this morning, the skies are a beautiful blue, and I hear birds singing outside; they too are rejoicing. The rain has ceased for a moment, sunshine is making an appearance and our hearts can feel the hint of spring.
I am joyful this morning. I am in the process of gathering, washing, packing and planning. I have my lists made, another smile as I accomplish another task. You see I get to go visit my daughter and granddaughter in Texas in a few days and I am so very excited.
But what about those days when the skies are dark? The days that are damp and cold, dreary and full of dread, what then? Well…you can sit all slumped and hunched over, surrounded in the fog!!!
Or, you can rejoice in the day the Lord has made. We can always find something to rejoice in! I’m afraid of the dark, so when I start searching for things to rejoice in, I immediately start with the fact that today I have eyesight. I can breathe fresh air. I have a family who love and support me. I have a puppy dog who adores me. I have a home and am blessed with food in my stomach.
Our days are how we choose for them to be. It’s simple, really; it’s all in how you choose to view said atmosphere! The psalmist, King David, had it figured out … Rejoice, God Made It…Gods Got It !!!
Go outside today, view the Lord’s beauty through his eyes, not yours, listen to the sounds around you, not the noise, and breathe some fresh air, blow out the cobwebs in your soul that winter has brought. Rejoice God made this day and He made you…they go hand in hand.
My heart is smiling today, and I’m rejoicing. I thank you for sharing some time with me. Be blessed and be a blessing. 🥰
