“This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

The day my mother died after an extended illness, this verse kept running through my mind. At the time, I thought it was a strange thing to think. Then I realized that she was free of pain now. Even on that sad day, I could rejoice and be glad for her life with us.

DEAR GOD, HELP US TO REJOICE AND BE GLAD EVERYDAY. AMEN.
