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.
