Favorite Bible Verse

My favorite Bible verse is: “This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Ps. 118:24

When we consider the mighty works of the Creator, the wonder of them, the splendor of them, how can we ever be unmindful of the miracle of each day fresh from God’s hands?

Who could ignore the sudden startling beauty of the sun bursting above the rim, or the sun setting in the evening, the pink and rose, spreading like a great opening flower, changing to gold and crimson, to purple and mauve, until the whole world is lit with a strange glory.

Another thing we can be deeply thankful for is the gift of life. We have the opportunity to enjoy all nature, and the freedom to worship our God. The blessings of being a Christian just keep on coming. They’ll never run out. What a generous, thoughtful God we serve. The countless blessings in our lives continue to overflow.

Sunset
The Sky’s a burst with beauty,
The horizon is all aglow,
Making geometrical patterns
In purple, red & gold.
The performance is breathtaking
With it’s changing scene,
Just as you turn a kaleidoscope
It’s over unforeseen.

Sometimes we forget that each new day is not only a blessing but a miracle in itself. Have a great day!
