red letter day
November 28, 2011
It’s a red letter day.
No, it’s not a holiday. Or my birthday. Or really a day of any special significance at all.
It’s just another Monday.
Which is more than enough reason.
It’s a red letter day.
His new mercies kissed me awake this morning.
He commanded the sun to shine and the earth to spin and gravity to do its job.
He breathed out so I could breathe in.
So who am I to grumble and complain about just another Monday?
It’s a red letter day.
And I need to live like I believe it.
Less griping. More gratitude.
Less frustration. More praise.
For He is worthy.
And I am blessed.
On this red letter Monday.

Thank you for this. My alarm almost flew across the bedroom this morning because I had no idea why it was going off. I was a little disoriented :) So, yeah, I definitely needed to read this.
@gritandglory says:
sounds like me. on most mornings.
Alece, You just let the Lord tell me (through your words), EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thanks for being HIS vessel.
@gritandglory says:
WOW.
@TomMartinATL says:
Great reminder that regardless of our circumstances: “He is worthy, and I am blessed.”
While I was navigating the uncertainty that is cancer, my wife and I clung to Psalm 118:24 only for us we pray it:
“For this is the day OUR LORD has made; WE WILL choose to rejoice and be glad in it, regardless!”
@gritandglory says:
such amazing faith…
Oh amen and amen and may this truth be the joy of everyday!!
@gritandglory says:
YES!
Amen, Alece. I always have to fight the Sunday night blues but the fact is that the alarm on Monday morning means I have places to go, good things to do, and things to be thankful for!
@gritandglory says:
me too!

After having 5 days off work, I woke up this morning to only 23-degrees on the thermometer and started griping before my feet hit the ground. Thank you for reminding me to look at the blessings in my life and to praise God for all He’s done for me.
@gritandglory says:
mmmm… YES.
Such refreshing thoughts about Monday! I might need to read this on a few other mornings :-)
@gritandglory says:
me. too.
Sometimes all you need is a different perspective. Thank you for providing it :)
@gritandglory says:
