Genesis 8:13

"And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry."
Genesis 8:13


First days seem to be fortuitous.  God said "let there be light" on the first day, and I can't even imagine the rejoicing that accompanied Noah's discovery above.  They had a new beginning, a promise that they would soon end their endless days of floating around. :)  Even for us, who aren't in quite the same situation, new light and new land signify a lot.  We too need a little bit of hope, some additional light, and a respite from our endless floating. :)  Today holds that promise.  We've ended a chapter of our lives, and today we turn the page and start another.  What will happen to the hero of our story in this chapter remains to be seen... but because of the nature of stories, there is sure to be high adventure, impossible challenges, and in the end, certain victory.  Today... this month, this year... let's resolve to enjoy the story, and be the heroes we were always meant to be. :)
