Author Karen  Burton Mains:  Most of us have forgotten how to greet the day.  The knowledge is all but lost to us that a new day is sacred: a gift from God is  arare and precious gift.  A new day brings with it another opportunity to start all over, to raise one’s head from the pillow with a glad heart, to watch the clouds roll across the dark sky now fusing pink, and to breathe that child prayer of gratitude,
O God life again.  Again one more day of life.”

We must relearn how to stand in awe, how to face for a moment the eastern sky with praise and thanksgiving and allow our hearts to be filled with  a corresponding inner daybreak  of adoration .

We must learn to not ever take for granted -no matter how pain-filled our life-that we are alive for granted- and the earth still  turns on it’s axis, that evil has not wobbled the world of its course while we slept, and we must understand this sacramental symbol of life which comes resurrecting  every twenty-four hours .

Celebrating each new day helps us develop the ability be be  grateful  for all new moments and fore the God who is in each one.  The discipline of celebrating each new day influences our attitude toward all of like. A new day signifies: The Lord of mornings is still sovereign over the world.
