"It's A Brand New Day, Grandma"

As I was waking up this morning I realized it was a cool morning and it felt good to snuggle in the covers. I thought warm cocoa and toast would taste good. I watched the sun come over the mountain lighting the east side of the trees to a rich bright green. The trees long shadows stretched across the dew covered lawn westward. This scene reminded me of a greeting a friend's grandaughter cheerfully gives her every morning, "Its a brand new day, grandma". My mind then went to a song the "Tabernacle Choir" sings so beautifully.

Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken, like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word!

Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning,
God's re-creation of the new day!

Eleanor Farjeon

Praise ev'ry morning, God's re-creation of the new day!

"Who knows but that something wonderful may happen today. Have faith that it will. After all every morning is a chance at a new day."
