“Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a NEW day with no mistakes in it yet?”
If ever I felt like Anne Shirley’s kindred spirit, it’s tonight as I sit back and ponder the events of today. Or rather, my reactions to them.
Some days I blow it from the very beginning.
This was one of them.
And, to be honest, I almost cringe at the thought of having to get up and do it all over again tomorrow.
Until I remember that, “After all, tomorrow is another day.” (Thank you, Scarlett, for that one.)
Because I get to try again tomorrow. God’s grace is not all used up today. I may have run out of patience today, but He didn’t.
And, just like He will give me another chance to learn and grow, he offers the same thing to my kids.
And, so should I.
We all need the new day.
And, so tonight, I pray that we will rest well.
That we will awake refreshed.
That we will remember his mercies in the morning.
For just like the day, they are new.
