So I woke up this morning to the fresh, crisp and chilly weather, which excites me for the upcoming changing season. What a nice surprise to have to wake up and put on a light jacket! I love the changing of the seasons, especially from Summer to fall and then to my favorite, winter!! As I was walking about to my car breathing the nice cool air and I was so thankful for the coolness and I just stood for a moment thanking the Lord for his awesome and perfect creation and the perfect changing of the seasons!!
Well...then the day happened! That does come across as more dramatic than need be BUT it was just a crazy day!! Then as I was sitting here tired at my desk, I just sat back rehashing all the crazy things that happened today, and how I was just not thankful at all!! And this is what the Lord did to put in my place...So clever, So..GOD!
Like I said before I was going through the day not being thankful whatsoever and this little chorus that I remember singing in church when I was a little one popped into my head....
"This is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!" Now I know you remember this little ditty, we always did it as an echo/round in the service!! How clever of Him to use this little song to remind me that He created the heavens and the earth and all that it contains!! From the trees, to the grass, to even the people of the world and I should be glad in this day that He created and rejoice!! I should not only rejoice for being able to live and breath His air, but rejoice for He rose from the dead, to defeat death and sin!! I must rejoice for everything He has done for He ordained and ordains all things to happen and I must give Him glory and praise in all things!! So I can honestly say that I am humbled to the core by a song I used to sing as a child and am singing and humming along to right now!!!
REJOICE!! AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE!!

I don't know that one, you're gonna have to sing it for me. LOL But I am glad the Lord changed your heart. Mine is tired and it is so hard to be joyful in the Lord when you're tired. :/
I feel you on that my brotha! When I am tired that is when I feel I am most vulernable, which of course I hate! BUT we must stay steadfast in our walk and cling to His side!
