These few words of a song just dropped in my inner beings...
Everyday a new beginning...
New beginnings take on such different meanings and often carry great proportions, depending on the who, what, where, and how of it all.
Perhaps it is a new job opportunity or moving to a new city.
Maybe it is a new church or a change in an organizational affiliation.
For some it may be a change in marital status...recently married, divorced, or widowed.
Some of these things can bring joy while others bring tremendous sadness or regret.
But the fact is, regardless of the issues facing us or our personal situations,
everyday that we rise from our bed of slumber is a day of new beginnings. It is a day which we have never seen before and will only glimpse again through the eyes of memory.
It is a new day of opportunity for giving and loving and extending mercy and opening the doors of heart to those in our realm of influence.
As well, it is a new day of restoration and healing and forgiving and receiving forgiveness and allowing ourselves to be blessed.
If we have fallen, we
can get up and run again
because this is a new beginning. The sin is not in botching it...the sin is in not repenting, and refusing to get up and try again.
Today is ripe wipe with opportunities for success or failure. The choice of receiving and giving that which is better rests with me and with you.

I've got so much to thank God for
So many wonderful blessings
and so many open doors
A brand new mercy
along with each new day
That's why I praise You
and for this I give You praise
For waking me up this morning
For starting me on my way
For letting me see the sunshine
Of a brand new day
A brand new mercy
along with each new day
That's why I praise You and for this
I give You praise
This is a day of new beginnings...may it be a glorious one for you and for me!!
