Who Made it?

This is the day the Lord has made.
    We will rejoice and be glad in it. – Psalm 118:24 (emphasis mine)

Today begins the start of a few things for most of us.  Week 2 of our 40 days of prayer and fasting leading up to 9-11-16 has begun but for most families in Grant County, Indiana that is not at the top of our minds.  Instead moms, dads, grandparents, kids, tweens, teens, and teachers (maybe even your pets) are more focused on the start of another school year.

Each year in the Grieve home we have a few first day of school rituals.  Pictures of the girls at the same wall, same swing and same porch we have been taking these pictures almost every year since 2007.  We end it with a family selfie and hugs and kisses as they head out with mom to go to their first day of another school year.

Do you know what this day has in common with every day before it and every day after it?  

The Lord has made them all.

That’s right.  When we are graced with the air to breathe in another day in, it was made by the Creator of all things.  What an amazing thought. 

So today I encourage you to remember who gave you this day and that in this day the Lord has made take some time to give him thanks for making it and allowing you to enjoy it and every other day before it.

Thanking Him with you,

Pastor David
