This Day a Gift

I love this view from my bay window.

The sun twinkles light through slats of blind. The evergreens, they dance in the breeze blown through the day. The silver birch, that lovely gypsy, has played strip tease and now stands barren of her leaves, yet still she sways, gently, seductively.

Sky blue-gray, sun now fades, then breaks through cloud again. It is warm for November. Sweet warmth and comforting.

This day, this calm, for this moment, in all its beauty, in all its mystery, a gift.

I, unwrap it carefully, with delight, thankful for the moments of peace this day, an offering.

For this day, His mercies are new...His faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
