This is the Day

This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

The Psalmist reminds us that the Lord, God, the Universe, Source, Creator has made this day. Something or Someone beyond ourselves has caused the earth to rotate, the sun to rise and the day to begin. And it is time in which to be glad.

Lots of things can and will happen in a day. Babies will be born. People of all ages and situations will die - to be mourned and celebrated. People will forgive one another - or not. There will be angry words, gentle words, hateful words, loving words ~ all, once spoken, in minds and hearts forever. Hugs will abound. War and Peace will exist side by side. Nations leaders will struggle with major international problems. Decisions big and small will be made, or set aside for another day. Moms will bandage skinned knees and live with the wonder of childhood. Dads will play baseball and try to answer the ever-present question, "why?". People will go to work or to play. The day will be. 24 hours of Life.

Most people, no matter what their circumstances, will find something for which to be grateful. May you be one of those ~ with many blessings and butterflies
