In this episode, I chose to speak on a topic dear to me. - A New Day, its value, purpose, and with a question, How do I start a new day?
Years ago, when I homeschooled my children, we would read many poems; this poem is one of my favorites.
It is called "Today" by Kenny M. Fullington,
Today
Outside my window,
A new day I see
And only I can determine
What kind of day it will be
It can be busy and sunny.
Laughing and gay,
Or boring and cold,
Unhappy and gray
My own state of mind
Is the determining key
For I am only the person
I let myself be
I can be thoughtful
And do all I can to help
Or be selfish
And think just of myself
I can enjoy what I do.
And make it seem fun.
Or gripe and complain.
And make it hard on someone.
I can be patient
With those who may not understand
Or belittle and hurt them
As much as I can
But I have faith in myself.
And believe what I say.
And I personally intend.
To make the best of each day.

I use scriptures that remind me that God gives us each day of our life.
Psalms 118, verse 24, says.
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 143:8.
"Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee."
At the conclusion of the message, as usual, I share one of my songs, "Wiosna," meaning Spring.
Spring is my favorite season because it represents "a new beginning." I love how everything around me starts to awaken after Winter; at least in my area, we have a long winter. Spring brings me hope and new ideas, just like a new day.
I would like to invite you to ponder those questions,
What is your new day usually look like?
What are your desires, dream and what do you want to do with your new day?
