Fresh leaves anyone?

Adam to Eve , "I didn't know that silk worms ate Fig leaves." So Adam needs a new Fig leaf? But don't we all at some stage need a fresh start?

God in his infinate wisdom knew this and set in motion the laws of the Universe that give us the opportunity to see this miracle of "New things."

Every day we wake up to a new day. Our calendars guide us through new weeks, new months and then new years. Each of these bring with them the opportunity to experience the grace of God with "starting over". Some lament the passing years as they grow older, but I am learning that with age comes wisdom, courage and inner strength.

Lamentations 3: 22-23 tell us that the mercies of God are new every morning. When we have sinned / failed / or even been hurt, the opportunities to experience God's forgiveness, grace and compassion are given to us fresh every day. Wow, God is amazing!
