It's a Brand New Day
By Mindy Johnson in Finding the Heart of God, General, Kids, Raising Them and Praising Them
My son asks me sometimes if it's a brand new day.
He will ask this when he wakes up the morning after a tough day.

This is great news for him, because it means everything he did before that new day was forgotten, slate wiped clean- and he gets to start fresh, start anew. And just like that he can forget about mistakes he made and go forth with a bright and hopeful look on the day. It's a brand new day. I won't feel bad for what I left in yesterday, for what I did or didn't do that I was supposed to do. I get to try again

How wonderful that we all, young and old, get to start each day anew, that it's a brand new day. We leave our sins at the foot of the cross, that it's washed away, never to exist again. That our Father looks at us, His Beautiful Creation with such love and desires that we do our best to follow Him and seek His face.

Walter starts the day ready for my attention, ready to spend time with me, playing, laughing, and learning. How I should take on this mentality with my heavenly Father. I should wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to spend the day with my Father. Most of the time my kids wake me up way before I feel ready to greet the day, and I am already in \"Mommy mode\" multitasking and always busy, never seeming to have a second to myself.

Oh Lord, come to my thoughts many times daily so that I may spend my day with you
