My first thought this morning had to have been placed there by my precious Lord... I certainly can't think much beyond coffee when I first put these feet on the floor! He spoke to my very heart; reminding me what a wonderful gift it was, this fresh new day; that by His will alone my eyes are opened to it. He is delighted in this; knowing what could be in store should I trust Him and walk in His ways; seek Him in it. But Lord.. Im not much to delight in at the moment, I'm thinking, bleary eyed and yawning. He reminds me that never has a sparrow fallen that He did not see, and take to heart.
Lord, your mercies are new and beautiful with every break of day. Thank you for this amazing gift of life. Take mine today, and use it.

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?..." ~ Matthew 6:26
