I think this would make a great blog theme for 2026! So let it be said; so let it be written!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today is the day the Lord has made! I will rejoice and be glad today because this day is a gift from God. Yea, verily, each new day is a fresh start! Each new day is an opportunity to learn more about Jesus. Each new day is a chance to make a difference in the world through a smile or word of encouragement. As we yield to God, each new day is full of endless possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s rejoice and be glad!
