Countless people succumb to new car fever.

Others dream of moving into a new apartment or house. I was happy when my sister Donna had her new apartment experience. Her name was on the list of prospective tenants as the building was still in construction.

Donna was one of the first to move in. Not long ago, friend Nancy had the same advantage at her assisted living apartment. New is nice.

I guess I’m weird; I like new ordinary things.

I like to open new boxes of tea, cans of coffee and jars of peanut butter.

New bottles of shampoo, conditioner and packages of soap give me pleasure.

I may be weird but I’m also grateful.

“The Lord’s acts of mercy indeed do not end,
For His compassions do not fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23 NASB).”

New is nice. Spiritually; it’s best.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come (2 Corinthians 5:17 NASB).”
