Another Shiny New Day By Liz Huggins-Thompson

We are greeted each morning with a shiny new day.

We proceed to tarnish it with our acts of sin.

The Lord polishes it up while we sleep

And presents us with a bright new hope.

Thank you, Lord, for your faith in me.

I pray that I am worthy of it.

A God Shaped Life by Michelle Rocker

I started small.

I grow every day.

The sun shines.

The rain falls.

The wind has blown.

Storms have come.

I’ve been shaken.

I’ve been swayed.

I am not broken.

I am rooted.

I am planted in the Garden of God.
