“Honoring the Past, Guiding the Present, Inspiring the Future—in Christ.” From A Chaplain's Heart.


Dawn of New Mercies

Nugget of Wisdom:

Every sunrise is a reminder that God isn’t finished with your story
—He is beginning it again with grace.

Scripture Reflection:

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22–23 (ESV)

Chaplain’s Whisper:
I often watch our seniors in the early hours, some quietly reading Scripture, others softly humming old hymns. One woman shared, “Each morning feels like a small miracle.”

Her words reminded me—grace is not just about big events, it’s the gentle unfolding of God’s presence in everyday moments. Morning invites us to notice and receive it, however simple it may appear.

Wisdom Prompt:
What might change in my spirit if I welcomed each morning as a gift rather than a routine?

Prayer:
Lord, as this new day begins, awaken my heart to Your mercies. Help me not to carry yesterday’s weight into today’s grace. Amen.
