Day 28 of 365, Light of a New Day

Dy 28 of 365, Self Portrait, Light of a New Day. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and yours too my friend. What has kept me from pursuing my dreams? fear, lack of money, time, energy, committment, patience, avoiding criticism, didn't want to seem selfish, the unknown. The list can go on forever. It can keep me locked, trapped, stuck, caged, frustrated, unfulfilled forever too. Which should I fear? I think the latter. No more. Today, I looked out my window and saw the beautiful light of a new day, both literally and figuratively. Today, is the first day of the rest of my life. What can I make of it? What are my dreams? What is my vision? What is my purpose? What is my call? I am on a quest my friend. I am going to grab each moment of everyday that I walk this earth and appreciate all the blessings in my life. I want to see and feel the beauty, the majesty, the tenderness, and even the pain. Because, I know that life is like a vapor, today is the first day of the rest of my life.
Taste the sweetness of life. Enjoy every moment. Love your family and friends with all your heart. Have respect for your fellow man. Worship the One who Created you and me. He breathed life into your bones. Allow Him to breathe new life into your spirit.
  • I have a praise report. My dad's doctor saw a lesion on his kidney. He was sent to a specialist. I got a call just minutes ago from my very relieved mama. They were just leaving the kidney specialist's office. He told them that this spot has been on his kidney for a year with no change. The doctor told my daddy that he would not worry one bit about that spot. Of course they will re-check after a period of time, but again he said, "Do Not Worry!" That is great news and a huge relief. Thank you Lord. Amen.
