I chatted with a neighbor today whose mother had recently died. We exchanged sorrows for a while, then moved to grateful that the sun was shining. He said we should, “Take the day for what it offers.” I liked that thought. It’s a reminder that each day is full of unforseen possibilities. I may have an idea or plan for my day, and I can move in that direction, but it may not turn out the way I thought it would. Ultimately, I am better off if I trust in God’s day and participate in all that He offers. Each day is a new beginning, and that in itself is a gift.

I Found God today in the gift of each day.
