This
is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in
it.
Psalm
118:24
Some time ago I received the
following which I have always found to be a great thought to start
the day. It is based on Psalm 118:24.
THIS IS THE DAY GOD HATH MADE
Look
to the day with a challenge!
Lift
your eyes to the sun,
not
the shade!
Keep
your heart filled with song,
as
you travel along
For
this is the day God hath made!
Look
to the sun with a purpose
of
fulfilling the plans that you’ve had,
With
a joy in your heart
that
will never depart,
For
God’s made this day to be glad!
Look
to this day with a prayer
and
a quiet request for his aid,
And
be glad all day through
in
whatever you do,
For
this is the day God hath made!
from
On Children and Death By Elisabeth Kübler-Ross*
Creative
and compassionate God, we thank you that in love you sent Jesus
Christ to share our earthly life with its joy and suffering. Give us
the grace of gratitude for each new day you give so that we may go
out to serve you with joy and thanksgiving. Amen.
