Each day is a treasure, a mystery to discover,
a gift from the one who is Love.
Some inspire wonder. Others present hardships.
Each offers promise for growth.
From daybreak to sunset, from dusk until dawn,
we view blessings of nature’s bouquet—
the clouds and the rainbows, the dancing of sunbeams,
the moon and stars flooding the night.
I sit and I wonder at the beauty displayed,
peace in the eye of life’s storms—
tranquility amid turmoil, simplicity showing splendor,
if we open our eyes to behold.
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV).
