New Day

As I took my dogs for their morning walk today, I was struck by how excited they were. Especially in comparison to me! It is 5:45am and they can hardly contain their excitement. And that is how dogs are about most things. Mine just stare at me and wait for me to awake. Yea, Mom's up! Now our day can start! Can't you just see their tails wagging and see them jumping around. Now turn to me first thing in the morning. Totally different picture. "What time is it? Can I go back to sleep for another delay on the clock? What day is it anyway? Ugh!"
I need to be more like my dogs - wondering what the day will bring and excited at the prospects. "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24
