I love that I get to see this view from time to time - most every morning actually.  There is something about seeing a day in it's unfolding...when a day begins fresh, clean and there are no mistakes in it - yet. 

So are his mercies.  New every morning.

Just reflecting on the mercies - counting onwards towards One Thousand gifts.
