This morning I am grateful for a new day.
Yesterday was not a good day. Parenting was difficult. I didn't feel good. The weather was weird. An egg was dropped on the kitchen floor. The boys fought. Laundry mounted. Joey had to work late. It was a rough day.
Yet in the end of that hard day, God gave a beautiful sunset that set the sky on fire. Endless shades of oranges, pinks, purples and blues illuminated the sky. Thinking back on it, it seems like God was saying, "See, even in the midst of hard day, I give beauty."
So here I am at the dawn of a new day, with the chance to see beauty in what seems like might be another hard day. But I know that grace will be new again today just as surely as the sun came up again this morning. I hope I take time to see it, receive it, and love through it.
Open my eyes, Lord!
Amen.
