giorno

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. That bible verse is clear as day. October was a month of birthdays for me. Members of my family, friends and neighbors and even myself celebrated another revolution around the sun. There was Thanksgiving and every month has its special days. Why not celebrate each one of them?

Whether it’s “dies” in Latin, “nap” in Hungarian or “dia” in Spanish and Portuguese; the word day has been with us since the Beginning.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.  And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. Genesis 1: 1-5

And so, just as words pass through our mind, our actions for the day are moments in time. LIfe is the adventure. Each day is a new prayer. As the sunlight creeps into to day, I realize that November has done the same. There is a skiff of snow, the last of the leaves have fallen and small flocks of geese fly south over the lake. No butterflies. No flowers. No need of shade from the sun. Winter is on her way and my days will be spent more indoors than out. And so, I take each day as it comes and celebrate the moments.

Today I get to sing. I am able to wake and take a breath of fresh air outside. Today I can share my love with others. I am able to serve. Today I can praise the creator of the universe. I can read, write, speak and think. I can capture my thoughts in words. I can feel, worship. dream, live. I hope you can too, so enjoy your day!
