Even Today…

Over the past several months, some of my dearest friends have been going through some major life changes. Some are exciting, some are scary and still others are grieving. I find myself in all three almost every day now.

I have a dear friend who has a tremendous testimony. She went through, and continues to go through, some serious medical problems. Through a teacher, she learned to rejoice in every day. She says even THIS is the day that the Lord has made. He didn’t make a mistake today. He doesn’t need a do-over. This is the day the Lord has made and I WILL rejoice and be glad in it.

What a great reminder. And even this day, when I am feeling lonely, when I am feeling lost, when I am feeling as if there is no end to my pain, this is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.

So today, I am rejoicing that I have a beautiful nephew who sent me a letter last night. I am rejoicing because my friend is coming for a visit this weekend. I am rejoicing that my husband loves and understands me. I am even rejoicing that Saturday is only one day away and I’ll be able to wear my new orange sweater.

Because this IS the day the Lord has made and I WILL rejoice and be glad in it.
