Because of God\u2019s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us<\/span><\/i>, –Luke 1:78 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m reminded of a morning after dealing with a fun filled night of tough parenting about responsibility. I went to my closet to pull out my church t-shirt and it wasn’t there! My children, well two of them are the size of adults and they both had their t-shirts on. My thought was that, one of y’all have my shirt and then I verbalized it; my son quickly reminded me that we’ve been through this on yesterday and that what was associated with, was in the past and that today was a new day! <\/span><\/p>\n

Oh the joy in knowing that I have been blessed with an opportunity of the day. \u00a0The opportunity is granted through God\u2019s tender mercy and grace.<\/span><\/p>\n

This opportunity can be met with either me being happy or sad and the truth is: that it\u2019s up to me. The newness of the day lends to great possibilities but a decision has to be made.
