    • Christianity

Do you remember what it felt like to start something amazing? Do you remember the first day of marriage? Or what it felt like to be washed in the blood of the Lamb? Wow, that was truly the best. For those who are exploring new things and feeling the joys of discovery, drink in every ounce of that! As for the rest of us, let's not give up the dream of daily joy and the emotions of gratitude. 

To enjoy the gift of fresh and excited eyes, we need to identify the qualities we once had and reach for them again. To help with this, let's look at a beginner embracing new hope in contrast with a long timer who had lost that spark. You can choose to be that first person again, no matter how long it's been. In fact, because of how long God has blessed you!

- What is the beginner's gift and how does it feel to possess it?

- What happens over time that keeps us from the feelings we once had?

- How does remembering desperation bring us to place of rejoicing?

- Why is honesty and openness a wonderful quality that we all need?

- What part does gratitude play in keeping you as joyful as the first day of blessing?
