Dear Father in Heaven,

Nearly every day I take my dog, Rocky, for at least a short walk. When he sees his leash, he gets excited. He can hardly stand still as he wiggles, twists, and wags his tail. And I attempt to snap his collar to the leash.

Not once in awhile, everyday! He can't wait!

I want to be like Rocky! Excited by the new day! It's been a long time since I have 'twisted and wiggled' by the prospect of what the day may hold. And, even if I don't dance and prance on the outside, help to get excited on the inside, because 'this is the day that you have made for me/all of us; and I/we want to rejoice and be glad in it'.

In Jesus' Name.

Amen.
