My Daily Musings-May 21st, 2026

“There are two things we get every day when we wake up: a chance and a choice.”

I really love this quote because it reminds me that every new day is a gift from our Heavenly Father. Each morning gives us another chance to grow, to become better, and to keep becoming the person He knows we can be. No matter what yesterday looked like, today is a fresh beginning.

We also receive a choice. Will we focus on the darkness and discouragement around us, or will we choose to look toward the light? Will we let hard moments define our day, or will we choose gratitude, kindness, faith, and hope instead?

There are many things in life we cannot control, but we can control our attitude and what we do with the time we are given. What kind of person do we want to become through our daily choices? How might our lives change if we viewed each morning as another opportunity to walk a little closer to Christ?

Every sunrise is both a chance and a choice. What we do with it matters.
