Every day that we wake up

is a good day.

Every breath that we take

is filled with hope for a better day.

Every word that we speak

is a chance to change what is bad into something good.

~Walter Mosley

Scripture says that at the end of each day of Creation’s beginnings, God looked at what He made and saw that it was good.  Mankind, then, draws every breath amidst goodness.  Yes, there are days fraught with trials and grief, but they alter not the fabric in which all life was woven.  Goodness and the miraculous are as constant as the sun, moon, and stars, and man has a chance of finding and being be blessed by their graciousness when he lets go of his yesterdays and looks only to the day at hand.  If his cup is to be filled with promised goodness and mercy, he must empty the chalice of his being on a daily basis and respond to the “tugs of divinty” inside himself.  Otherwise the bitter stings of the past will poison the mix and rob him of what is to be.  Man’s days have a planned shape in the soil of goodness, and good’s bounty perpetually rises to the surface, not because of what man is or what man does, but because of who God is and what He has already done.

God saw all that He had made, and it was very good. . .Thus the heavens and earth were completed in their vast array.  ~Genesis 1:31a, Genesis 2:1
