It's a Great Day to Be Alive!

I take the view that if God allows us to wake up in the mornings, everything else is a bonus! After all, if we do not wake up ever again, nothing really matters. Therefore, no matter how challenging our days might be, we have a responsibility, like the Psalmist, to declare: "This is the day which the LORD hath made; (I) will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24). The brand new day is like being given a clean sheet of paper on which to write. We determine what will be written based on our response to the things that happen around us. What an exciting opportunity! Yesterday's mistakes do not have to be rewritten today, or anytime in the future, because God's mercies are new every morning, and great is His faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22, 23).

Today is a GREAT day to be alive; go out and make the most of it!-
