I saw a quote today that read “everyday is a new story”. This struck me in a bold way. Each day holds a new opportunity to create a new/different narratives for our lives. The Bible notes in Phillipians 4:8,
“Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]”.

At times, life can be challenging and cause us to ruminate on the less than beautiful parts of life. I’ve had good and bad days and have had my share of ruminating so I am always on the lookout for opportunities to share words that will uplift, inspire and encourage. Today was no different. I was visiting with a long time friend, L.W., and had a good time listening to the collective beauty of many stories out in the community. I listened to the young, middle aged and elders. One common thread that ran through the all is that every story contained hope and love. These two loaded words of hope and love are bottomless wells of wisdom to correct, challenge, humor, provoke and reignite many beautiful things within a person and on the canvas of community. I was blessed immensely that this day found a way to create a new story.

What will your new story be?
