I woke up this morning (a blessing right there!) with a song playing in my head. Sometimes my spirit sings while my soul is still moaning about the aches and pains of a body that is showing its wear. This is a song I have not sung since I was in a teen choir and waking to the reality that there was a God who saw me and loved me. The song is called The New Twenty-third by Ralph Carmichael.
It opens with, “Because the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything that I need.”
A line from the last stanza felt particularly sweet:
“With blessing overflowing
His goodness and unfailing kindness
Shall be with me all of my life.“
It certainly has been.
Welcome to another beautiful day.
Welcome to another beautiful season.
Charis: Subject to Change 
The Lord does so many things for us that unless we stop and think on his goodness, we miss. It is a treat to wake up each day and know we can breathe. The beauty of Autumn, the brilliant colors of golds and reds that contrast with the greens, the smells, and crunch of leaves under our feet. Our Lord cares for us and is always with us, despite the challenges.
