We initiate this day giving thanks to the Lord, because we are living and for all that we are going to live today. This gratitude makes us energetic, the manner of life more happy and joyful, because the joy of the Lord gives us strength. (Ne 8:10c)

With certainty we will not be alone at any moment of our day, because Jesus is in our path and with His presence He sustaints us and gives us strength to surpass all obstacles. With a heart full of gratitude, we bless each person, each moment and each opportunity that Divine providence presents to us today. Surely, full of gratitude, praise and love we live this day with a free heart that led by Him and joyful.

Lord, we want today to praise You for the immeasurable love of being with us and for all the blessings that you have spread over our life.

Jesus, I trust in You!
