I stepped out of the house this morning to go to work and had to stop for a moment. The sun was just up enough that everything had a slight golden cast and the light breeze carried with it the songs of several birds. A robin stood at the top of the large spruce, heralding the day. As I watched, a pair of mallards slowly winged in, landing on the creek beside the house. The whole of it had a bucolic air which was almost surreal in the wonder and beauty.

No matter what my personal turmoils are, how I feel, the wheel of life continues to turn.

It is a new day.

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