Another new day

9th November,2013

Today the sun rose brightly after the season's first winter rainfall in Lahore. I open my eyes lazily, and roll over again to sleep some more on this Saturday morning. It is a brand new day again. I feel grateful.

Some say that life does not give you second chances, but  others say that allowing you to live another day is God's way of giving you another chance. In my life, the latter is true. We humans are weak things. We make mistakes and falter, get scared, lose confidence and lose hope, but life gives us chance after chance after chance. And each day is a new day, a clean slate, a new beginning. If only we recognize it for what it is.

I think we are lucky to be alive. God has forgiven our mistakes and blessed us in many ways, and the best blessing is that He has given us the ability to adapt and start over. Some of us do make changes and some keep waiting for the chance that we want in life. And that day, when it arrives, if we are ready, it is a hit. And it does come. Believe me.
It makes me think always, that when life is so generous, why are we so stingy in helping others find their way out of the woods? why do we make it so difficult for others to start over? Why we do not accept people as they are and want to change them, reform them, pigeonhole them and see them behave as we want them to behave? Why do we lose the chance that God gives us with each new day? Many of us are so good at talking about what is wrong. But why not talk about what is right? what is there, alive, around us and in us. We can do this everyday.
This is what my blog is about. Another New Day.
