A Day Full of Promise

~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Have you ever awakened to a morning that
felt full of promise?
~ One that filled you with a sense
of anticipation for what the day might bring?

For me, yesterday had been such a day.

I had been bathed in moonlight
as I slept the night before, and
I awoke to the sun streaming through
the open shutters.

After a pleasant night of the sweetest
of dreams, I stretched my arms up high
above me ~ ready to greet the day!

A cool, gentle breeze wafted through
my open window carrying with it
the fresh scents of spring.
I was rested, hopeful, and filled
with a zest for living.

On rising from my cozy bed,
good things immediately began to happen.
It all started with the first phone
call that I had received.

As the day progressed I received
an increasing number of blessings of
prayers answered, opportunities given,
and of heartening good news! I was overjoyed
with the abundance that was pouring in!

Have you ever awakened to a morning
that felt full of promise? ~ One that
filled you with a sense of anticipation
for what the day might bring?

For me, yesterday had been such a day
~ and it delivered as promised. For what
ensued, truly had been a day full of miracles.

From this day onward, if ever I come upon
difficult times, I will recall
that blessed day! God really does listen
and there are always brighter days ahead.

Yes, it is great to be alive!
~ and I am forever thankful
for His blessings.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

Yes I have. Ain't life grand?!
