What a difference a few hours can make. With every new dawn, we are given a new lease on life. In fact, it’s as if each new day brings with it all of the fresh possibilities of a new creation; with new eyes prepared to see it afresh and a revitalized spirit bursting with newfound energy and fresh hopes.
