Every day is a new day

Earlier today I wrote about time. Here is another thought. Have you ever thought about how much you change day by day? The events of our lives do tend to change us and shape us. We are different today because of what happened to us yesterday. For example, one of my friends was getting ready for work one day last December. He went out and fell on the ice and ended up tearing his rotator cuff. In January he had surgery and right now he is convalescing at home. He is not a different person but this experience has changed him forever. He will always see things differently now.

Here is another example. I visited with a woman today who came to grips with the act that her husband is dieing. She had to make some decisions that were very hard. We prayed about it and now he is in God's hands. She will be forever changed by what happened today, and so will I.

These changes are usually not major. They are barely noticeable to others. But the experiences of life do have an impact and we are a different person today than we were yesterday. That is actually good news! It means we can grow and become more like Christ. We can learn from our mistakes and turn from them. We can begin again and try to walk in the path of righteousness. We are not bound to the past. We can break free.

Praise God.

This video is mesmerizing. I don't know how Noah thought to do this but it speaks to how we can be the same but different over time.
