Another Day

It's been a while since I've last heard the line from a prayer that says "We thank You Lord for this day...." And so when I heard our professor mention that line on our last day under his mentoring, a tear rolled down my cheek and sent me thinking...

Indeed, waking up to another morning is a real blessing from God. Sometimes we just seem to neglect it. And sometimes we don't even want to face this new day, most especially when a lot of problems seem to come our way. There are even times when I myself wanted to sleep and forever live in that world of darkness and peace. But truly, we must always thank God for another day...

Another Day
To smile
To frown

To have some laughter
To shed some tears

To feel the heartaches
And still to love

To feel the stress and headaches
And still to learn

To strain my eyes
And read the lines

To hear some noise
And listen to that lovely voice

To walk the miles
And journey through

Another day He's giving us to start anew,
Another day for us to move on
Another day to face new problems,
Another day to be much stronger
Another day to call on Him
And another day to live in His grace

I thank You Lord for another day...
