This Is the Day
Joy in the present.
Receiving today as a gift.
The big idea
Today is not in the way of your life — it is your life.

Rejoice in It

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

This day — this exact day — was made by God. Receive it. Be glad in it.
A Gift, Not a Given
Today was made by God and given to you. That alone is reason to rejoice.
Rejoice Always
