As I write this post, I think of the verse that I use for this site.

“This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

I do think of this verse each day when I start my morning routine and usually I think of the song that this site is titled after. It runs through my head as I make the bed, get dressed, start the laundry for the day. This song became a blessing to me when I awoke one morning at the age of 13. It was the start of spring in Vermont after a VERY long winter and it just brought joy to my heart as I watched the orange tint of the rising sun through my lace curtains. My mind will always remember that morning and the melody of that song…the words. It is so simplistic, but says so much.

If we think about that verse in Psalm 118 and really concentrate on what it is saying…it is difficult to have a bad attitude about the day ahead. God has created each new day for us. As I have said before here, each new day is another day to learn about Him, read His word and pray. Each new day is another opportunity. Whatever our status in life…single, married, divorced, widowed, children or no children, lots of money or just getting by…emotionally happy and joyful or sad and without hope…it is a new day! A new start. Another chance to try again. It may be the day that you accept Christ as your Savior and it may be the day you go home to be with Him!

So, as another spring starts, lets rejoice and be glad in it!
