Sing to the LORD with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp. He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call. His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love (Psalm 147:8-11).

Are you mindful of, exploring, and soaking in the gift of God by which you're surrounded? It's not just another day . . . it's given to you, it's a gift . . . the only appropriate response is gratefulness . . . Are you cultivating gratefulness today, as you enter a new year? I pray you spend this day well, framed by the lens of Scripture. I read Psalm 145 and Psalm 147 with my children this morning. May such texts (and not the vauge spirituality of Louie Schwartzberg) be a guide for you as you embrace "One More Day" as a gift from God in the stunning beauty of creation, the relationships you find yourself in the midst of (maybe even more so during Christmas/New Year season), and material shared by Louie Schwartzberg/others.

PS. Thoughts on "Beauty and seduction is nature's toolÿ for survival, because we will protect what we love" coming another day. Feel free to make a comment before I return to it. . . .
