What a Beautiful Day!
June 16, 2009
This past weekend was a perfect day to work in the garden. It was in the low 70s. Sunny and warm, but not too warm. Cool, but not too cool. Perfect for working outdoors.
Our four year old neighbor girl came running over to “help” me. As we were bent over to put in some new plants, she observed, “What a beautiful day!” She was absolutely right. It was a gorgeous day. The day itself was wonderful, but it was all the more so, because we were enjoying working together.
Upon further reflection, I am reminded of the scripture verse that says “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalms 118:24
We all too often just take each day as it comes along, without taking the time to appreciate it. Our sweet little girl next door was a great reminder to rejoice in the blessing of the gift of a beautiful day. I thank and praise the Lord for it… and for her.
