00:00:35 --> 00:00:41 Hello, and welcome to Momo 634, Motivational Moments, just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 Do you know what tabula rasa means?

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49 It means blank slate.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 The expression is central to some philosophical discussions

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 that we won't get into

00:00:56 --> 00:00:56 here,

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00 but I mention it because each new day is,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02 you got it,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:03 a blank slate.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:09 It's like a clean, fresh sheet of paper with no markings on it.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:16 There's a well-shared story online of a person who offered up a prayer,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20 listing an astonishing number of successes.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 It goes like this.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26 So far, I've done all right.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 I haven't gossiped.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30 I haven't lost my temper.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:36 I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 But in a few minutes, I'm going to get out of bed.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 And from then on, I'm going to need a lot more help.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 As discussed in a previous episode,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54 we can make choices when presented with each of a hundred

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55 decisions daily.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58 Some we will get right.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02 Some we can adjust course and get right back on track.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06 Each day is a new start.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11 Lamentations is a book of the Bible written by Jeremiah.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 He was also called the weeping prophet,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19 so we know that he was troubled and plagued by the disobedience

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20 of God's children.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:21 Yet,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 in the midst of all his tears,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:29 he writes this gem in chapter 3,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30 verses 22 through 24.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36 Because of the loving devotion of the Lord,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38 we are not consumed,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41 for his mercies never fail.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 They are new every morning.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 Great is your faithfulness.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52 The Lord is my portion, says my soul.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 Therefore, I will hope in him.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:03 Our meme for today says, a new day brings blessings and opportunities.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05 Embrace each one.
