Celebrating the day

I'm posting a bit late today but a nice result of the lateness of the hour is that it has given me more time to experience the truth of Sarah Young's paraphrase of Jesus' words where I am encouraged to receive each day as a gift.  (Whew....that was a long sentence!)  I'm reminded again that before my feet hit the floor this morning my day had already been planned for me.  My job is to receive it with thanksgiving regardless of what it may bring.

My friend and cancer- sister, Joyce, helps me to celebrate each day.  She recently sent me a beautiful Footprints plaque.  It reminds me every morning that when I walk side by side with Jesus and at times see only one set of footprints, He has not left my side but is carrying me. What an incredible reality!

So, it's short but very sweet this morning as I thank Him for another day of precious life and sing, if only mentally, "This is the day that The Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it!"  (Psalm 118:24).

Love those psalms and love the writings of Sarah Young!

"Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song."-Psalm 95:2 (NIV).

On the health front:

It has been a busy morning.  It's blood draw day and Neupogen day and so far, absolutely nothing negative to report.  It's a great day!
