Sunny days are always welcome in our area. Yesterday was no exception. I enjoyed watching people enjoy the sun. As I wove through country roads there seemed to be more activity than usual. There were children playing outside, people working in their yards, bikers along the road, and convertibles out. Turns out, a sunny day is a good day in our neck of the woods.
When even a weather change makes a difference, it is easier to understand how circumstances dictate our well-being. John writes a concept about life that goes beyond the power of circumstances:
All of life comes from God. In other words, we need to understand that the most basic part of our existence, which is what gives us life, comes from God.When we take stock of our day, the very first thing is to realize we are living today because of the life God has given. Secondly, we are to live well, regardless of the circumstances, because we have received life. Receiving life makes today a good day.
God has given you and I life today.
It is a good day.
Give thanks for the life you have received today.
Take time to enjoy life.
. . . it is a good day.
Learning with you that it is a good day,
Shalom,
Kerrie
