A Brand New Day

As I was sitting at the breakfast table yesterday morning with my two favorite little people, my oldest stopped munching on his Lucky Charms and said to me, "It's a brand new day". I asked him what he said and of course, he repeated "It's a brand new day" but he added an emphasis of "MOMMY" at the end. I was floored. I didn't know what prompted this revelation so I asked him where he heard that. My looked me in the eyes and said "In my ears". Too cute. Is is possible that my 3 year old has been able to tell that I have been a bit down? And is it possible that God used this 3 year old to remind me that every day is brand new and that I get to decide how to live that day out? It was a total wake-up call. I had already begun feeling a less funky which I attribute to the prayers of my blogging buddies. Thanks!!! And it says in the Bible that "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!" So there it is, and here I am pressing on, looking ahead and waiting for the newness of each morning and the blessings and opportunties that come with each one. That is all I can do. I have to leave the rest up to the Lord. And to think that my sweet son is the one that was able to get through my self-pity and self-centeredness. Isn't God good?
