Oh, I'm thankful for a new day with a fresh start every morning. Do you ever have those days that are just a struggle and you feel like the only way to make it better is just for it to be over so you can start again?
I had one of those days yesterday--not a bad day, really, but a day where I fought against a bad attitude that seemed to follow me no matter where I turned. Just when I felt like I'd turned it around, it struck again. By the time I went to bed last night every little thing was bothering me and my patience had totally run out.
But it's a new day with a clean slate.
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him.
It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Lamentations 3:21-27
Hope your new day is going better... I can definitely relate! There have certainly been times when I've had to fight off a bad attitude for no apparent reason. Lately though, we've been dealing with an extended family issue and it's been hard getting out of the bad mood that goes along with it!

Yes, I've had a lot of those lately. But things are turning around and I'm so thankful. Thanks for sharing.
