Just Another Monday

Well, it’s Monday.
One more Monday, the start of another week.
Check the calendar: Luncheon tomorrow,
doctor on Wednesday, play bridge Thursday,
Susie visits Friday morning, dog to the Vet,
but nothing much today. Ho! Hum! Just
another Monday. I guess I’ll do my devotions
for the morning. just like every other day.

What if I opened my Bible at random, just held
it in my hand and let it fall open, I wonder what
it would say to me. Don’t know unless you try.
Psalms…humm. Now I’m going to put my
finger on the text…close my eyes and let my
finger fall wherever it wants to.

Well, listen to this: “This is the day the Lord
had made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Rejoice! Be glad! In this day! Yes!! I choose
to be glad! Yes! I might even be happy
about this gift! Funny how a few words
can change everything…I will be glad in it.
I will be glad IN it, not about it. IN it. In
everything that comes my way, I will
choose to be glad, appreciative, thankful.
Thank you, God, for the gift of another
Monday. I’ll watch for you IN it. I know
you’ll be there.
