for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
New every morning…gifted with a NEW day, EVERY day.
The New Living Translation says it like this:
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
His mercies begin new each day and I have an opportunity to live today better than yesterday. To be kinder. To be wiser. To be more loving. To be more gentle. To be a better mom, a better wife, a better employee…to speak less harshly, to see the good when it is hidden and see the silver lining even when it seems there isn’t one.
Lord, thank you for the opportunity to begin anew. Help me to take this day and live it for you. To live in a manner that glorifies you, is respectful of myself and others and is a witness of your love.
I was struggling finding something to write about today. Thank you to Gg for the inspiration.
Also, I am considering joining the Good Morning Girls session that begins Jan. 15th. Have you participated in this? I would be interested in your thoughts.
I am headed out of town tomorrow for a week…posting may be sporadic.
What a beautiful and inspiring post to start the day with…Thank you so much….
Be safe in your travels….
Happy New Year dear friend!
I'm very interested in the Ephesians study. I'm going to pray about it and do some further research before committing. Thank you for the link!
As always, love your pictures and your thoughts.

Annesta, I have printed off the materials and I think I am going to give it a whirl. Let me know what you decide sweet friend.
Thank you. I hopped over and read the list–very nice.
We will miss you but have fun.
Loved your post and scripture today–very timely!
I was struggling this morning, too. Maybe I should have hopped over to Gg's first? I'll hop over there next.
Traveling again? Just when I thought I was going to get back into a regular pattern, conversing with my blog (and real) friends! Happy travels, and Happy New Year!
Oh my goodness, Mary, just watched the little video clip from {in}courage–you were featured–how awesome–and your new hairdo looks wonderful–Wow!
Nancy – sorry you were struggling this AM, but hope you got inspiration over at Gg's.
Dianne – you are too sweet!
Thanks Mary! What a powerful reminder that I have an opportunity to live better today than yesterday. So often I'm consumed with regrets that I miss the opportunity of a new day. ~ Shannon
Beautiful and inspiring post, love it 🙂
