Is today a day to be strong? Is today a day to be humble? Is
today a day to speak up? Is today a day to keep quiet? Is today a day to mourn?
Is today a day to dance? Is today a day to be busy? Is today a day to relax? Is
today a day to make a friend? Is today a day to begin again? Is today a day to
look back? Is today a day to step out in kindness? Is today a day to seek
justice? Is today a day to say, “I love you?” Is today a day for a goodbye?
The minutes become hours.
The hours turn into days. The days transition into weeks, the weeks into months
and the months into years. The years become seasons of our lives. The days blur
together as the decades fall behind, yet each day continues to hold its own
beauty, its own promise. A life is lived. And each life is precious to our God.
And with Jesus, each day holds its own purpose.
There is
a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens; a
time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time
to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to
weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to
scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to
refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep
and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be
silent and a time to speak, a time to love
and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 1:1-8
Maybe we could add
a time to stay home and a time to go out?
Jesus,
Whatever this day brings, You are with us. Let each season
bring lessons, love and laughter. Give us Your sense of this present moment,
along with the perspective of eternity spent with You.
Amen
