It is no easy thing to celebrate each day. Days are filled with challenges, difficulties, and so many little things that they sometimes all run together. It is not easy to take time and relish the full moon illuminating the early morning sky today, the puffy clouds sailing past, the refreshing breeze that says fall will come again this year despite the promise of 100 degree temperatures this week.
Today we will attend the funeral of one of my first cousins in Arkansas. We shared time with most of the cousins and many of the second and third generation cousins at a family reunion earlier this month. There were 21 of us first cousins all together–Sharon was only the second to decease. A reminder that we are growing older should give even more reason to celebrate the day.
I will look today for the little things of life and I will celebrate and rejoice in them–above all because God is the giver of life and the giver of days.
