What is a perfect day? It is a day in which the heart is filled with gratitude for the infinite love of God.
This is the day that the LORD has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it!
-Psalm 118, WEBBE
Sometimes the perfect day isn’t really the kind of day we imagine it to be. It isn’t about taking the best trip somewhere we’ve only dreamed of. It isn’t about filling our stomachs to the full, eating exotic dishes, feasting among the most luxurious hosts. It isn’t even about winning an award or achieving the recognition we felt we long deserved.
Sometimes the perfect day is just doing the most ordinary things. Things like waking up in the morning, early enough to catch a glimpse of the sunrise or smell the garden all fragrant with dew. Things like seeing an old friend again and being able to catch up over a cup of your favorite coffee. Things like being able to take some time off from work and spending the day with your loved ones, just taking everything in, knowing how much you are valued and loved.
The perfect day need not be too far away. Sometimes we only need to see the blessings we are given each day and receive each God given gift with love.
