When Morning Gilds the Skies

My Heart Awakening Cries:  May Jesus Christ Be Praised!

There are mornings that I forget to really open my eyes and see.  I forget to really breathe and offer a silent word to God..."This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it."  I forget to be thankful for these three sleepy kids and a husband who is still in bed.  Rather I start out with the rat wheel in my head spinning endlessly over what needs to be accomplished next.  But then, God will do something so grand as paint the sky gold and purple and pink and blue.  And I will stop...and see...and catch my breath.


Thank you God for a sunrise so breathtaking that there is nothing else I can do but turn to you in praise!
