As the sun slid westward last night, people began returning home from work. The cardinal family came to the bird feeders for a bit of supper, and those busy squirrels disappeared into their leafy houses. Another day had ended, and, though the world seemed dark, tomorrow would come.
Maybe today the homeless man who was in a fast food parking lot will find a better place to be and people will learn to emphasize love instead of hate. Perhaps insoluble problems will be answered and those who are ill may find healing. Fear over the future will turn to faith. Today.
Sometimes, evening shadows bring with them feelings of sadness, but they shouldn’t. Night is God’s way of drawing the curtain across another day and saying all the problems, injustices, and worries of the day are ended. Forget them for a while. Lay down the load and, if you need to, take it up tomorrow, but not tonight. In the morning, the sun will rise again upon brand-new hopes, opportunities, and potential. Today. Thank God for today.
