Did you ever just thank God for a brand new day? No frills, no thrills, just thank Him that you woke up and are alive to see another day. The amazing thing about God is that when we thank Him for the new day, not taking it for granted that we woke up, that we are alive —His response is to lavish us with blessings. As if He was just waiting to see if we would be thankful because He couldn’t wait to release His blessings for that day. He’s stores up surprises for us throughout the day. We catch a glimpse of sunrise, we feel the sun on our face, or hide from the rain and see a rainbow in the sky. We marvel at the beauty of a flower, we welcome a breeze on a hot summer day. We talk to love ones, we go for a walk or jog, we get to work on a job or in a home. I could go on and on, but you understand- it’s the everyday things that we need to stop and appreciate and thank God for. The everyday blessings that He so willing and lovingly gives. The ones more than our two eyes can see, more than our hearts can feel. Stop in the busyness of today and just thank God for the day called "This." Thank Him for a brand new day.
