This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
As a child when I visited my uncle and aunt on their farm, I found that they arose while it was still very dark. At breakfast, before going out into the fields, my uncle always prayed, thanking the Lord for the beautiful day. Of course it was much too dark for us to see the kind of day that was dawning.
One morning I said to my uncle, "Yesterday you thanked the Lord for a beautiful day, and it rained all day."
"Yep," he said, "and what a beautiful rain it was!"
Now I realize that my uncle’s prayer was the kind that the Lord cherishes most—thanks for what we don’t even know awaits us.
