Today is President's Day honoring two Presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, each one honored for their contributions to our Nation's history. For many it is a holiday, but for others, like me, it's another work day. Still, we remember these men with gratitude for their service.
Each day is a gift, and there are many miracles if we just take the time to appreciate life. Waking up to a new day, being able to get up out of bed, having sight and hearing, the simple act of breathing, walking, just to name a few. The best part of opening our eyes in the morning is seeing the Presence of God our Creator in everything and counting our blessings.
My scripture for today is taken from Luke 1:37 "For the word of the Lord will never fail." As we journey each day, especially in troubled times, we can be confident that our battles have been won in God's strength and mercy. He promises to never leave us nor forsake, and His Word is true. He also promises to go before us and make a way.
The message of Lent is found in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believed in Him would not perish but have everlasting life." His Love is the gift of Lent.
