Each day is a new beginning. Each day

Each day is a new beginning.

August 11, 2023

Each day is a new beginning. Each day is filled with moments of joy that are diminished by moments of pain and sorrow. Within each day, we need to find laughter and look upon the beauty around us. Whether it is found in looking upon a sunrise or sunset or watching, the birds play as they splash and clean themselves in a pond. Beauty can be seen in the rough terrain around you or in a rainbow after the rain. Today, stop and look upon the beauty surrounding you take a moment to enjoy, smile and laugh at the moment you are in, for once this moment is gone you can never get it back. So enjoy—life is too short not to stop and smell the roses. Philippians 4:8 reads, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” God Bless. ENJOY! Amen.
