in the gift of this new day
in the gift of this present moment
in the gift of time and eternity intertwined
let me be thankful
let me be attentive
let me be open to what has never happened before
in the gift of this new day
in the gift of this present moment
in the gift of time and eternity intertwined.

Reading- “The Days to Come” by Medora C. Addison. Read by Andrea Palmer

Now shall I store my soul with silent beauty,
Beauty of drifting clouds and mountain heights,
Beauty of sun-splashed hills and shadowed forests,
Beauty of dawn and dusk and star-swept nights.

Now shall I fill my heart with quiet music,
Song of the wind across the pine-clad hill,
Song of the rain and, fairer than all music,
Call of the thrush when twilight woods are still.

So shall the days to come be filled with beauty,
Bright with the promise caught from eastern skies;
So shall I see the stars when night is darkest,
Still hear the thrush’s song when music dies.
