“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” Prov. 27:1 NIV

Each new day is a blessing in itself. We quickly forget this fact. Each new day should be approached with a spirit of adventure. Each new day is a gift to be enjoyed and a gift to be given. Each new day is given to be viewed through new eyes, heard through new ears, to be inhaled and experienced to the fullest with all the senses and faculties we possess. Each new day viewed in this spirit will be a new day.

This morning, my mind ran across times when I was heart broken, hurt, embarrassed, frustrated, sad and feeling like I would never be the same again. In those moments, I have felt like my world was crashing down around me and then the next day, I found out that the world did not end, breath was still in my body, the sun rose again and grace was still on my side. Each time, I made a decision to get up, step into the new day and start all over again. Each new day has brought me to today. I’ve come to realize that all those moments were just one fragment of time that makes up the adventure of my life. I have made a decision to embrace each new day as the gift that it is because tomorrow is not promised.
