something new

Greetings dear friends and followers!
Can you believe it today is the first day of the last half of the year 2009, some even say it is the first day of the rest mf my llife, and that is so true.
Well you have guessed it,this day being the first day of the month I began thinking about the fact that it is a new day and everything about today should be a great blessing.
An old saying goes like, "There is nothing new under the sun!" (Eccl 1: 9) Well there are so many things that I find to be at least to me "NEW!"

Like, new places where I have never been ..... now they are not new of course,been there all of time, but to me they are new!

New sayings; Someone has said them before that's true, but to me I have never heard them so they are new.

New friends; Well this is something and I am pleased to say that as my age goes up so the number of friends increases and that's new!

I used to sing in church the words of this great song; "New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove, Through sleep and darkness safely b rought, Restored to life and power and thought." John Keble (1792-1866) Song 668 verse 1; The Song Book of The Salvation Army.

You know God does do new things within us and I am so pleased to know this experience, and hope you do also.

I am reminded that Jesus spoke of a new thing, it was in fact a commandment, this is what He said, "So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you you should love one another. Your love will prove to the world that you are my disciples." John 13: 34,35.

This is not only something new, but the reason for it as well!

I am keeping myself ready today to find something new, maybe you could do the same thing and discover the newness of the power of God in your life today!

Have a great day, and find something new to do, and something new to enjoy. God Bless you!
