“When you arise in the morning, do you throw open the window and look out at the world? Do you observe the same old things, or do you notice subtle changes, like buds opening on flowers, the scent of lilacs on the breeze, or the new song of a distant bird? This is the day the Lord has made! Rejoice in His bountiful, beautiful gift.

“Samuel Pickwick, a retired businessman, met the new day with enthusiasm. He saw it with the potential of discovery and maybe even adventure. If Pickwick and his friends from the Pickwick Club loved anything at all, it was searching for adventure. Every morning held the prospect of something new, something exciting.

How should we meet each new day? Psalm 118:24 tells us, "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." We should greet each day expecting God's kindness: "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning." (Lamentations 3:22-23).”

“Oh, say, can you see, by the
dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the
twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright
stars, thro’ the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watch’d,
were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the
bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thro’ the night that
our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled
Banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the
home of the brave?”
