This is the Day

that the Lord has made!

I plan on this being my theme for the week (though it should be the theme for every day for the rest of my life). I want to not just live for the weekend and my "days off"; I want to enjoy each day God has given me, each moment I can watch my children grow, each person I can talk to, each task I can complete, face each "hard thing" with grace, and live by God's strength.

There is a joy in the journey

There's a light we can love on the way

There is a wonder and wildness to life

And freedom for those who obey

And all those who seek it shall find it

A pardon for all who believe

Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind

To all who've been born in the Spirit

And who share incarnation with Him

Who belong to eternity stranded in time

And weary of struggling with sin

Forget not the hope that's before you

And never stop counting the cost

Remember the hopelessness when you were lost

There is a joy in the journey

There's a light we can love on the way

There is a wonder and wildness to life

And freedom for those who obey
