New day, new blessings

As I scrolled through my Facebook page this morning, I came across a status which read, “New day, new blessings.”

Each day that we wake up we are given another opportunity to give the world our best shot. While yesterday may have started off wrong, turned into something horrible or ended on a bad note, the reality of today is that yesterday is in the past. We can’t allow the negatives of our past to dictate our present or future. Because the deli guy put mayo on your sandwich yesterday, doesn’t mean that today’s lunch will also be bad. Take the lesson from yesterday’s misfortune and be sure to speak clearly when giving him your order today.

It’s a new day, with new blessings waiting for us. All we have to do is open our hearts and minds to receive them. We must also be willing to share our blessings, as they will multiple with each act of kindness. The blessings we receive may not be the blessings we want, but it is what we need. If we were to always get what we want, imagine the chaos our lives would be. In waiting, we also practice patience and faith – skills that are becoming extinct, like tape cassettes and typewriters. As you go through this day, remember, “New day, new blessings.”

Also, blessings are a gift that work best in warm conditions, cold hearts need not apply.
