In which I rise up to praise

November 12, 2008

One of the hidden benefit of having small children is getting up early. I am unabashedly a morning person and have been my entire life. I love mornings.

This morning, I was up early nursing Joseph. After I’d settled him back into bed, I went out on our balcony and watched the sunrise.

I felt bathed in the presence of God, just loking at this. Washed clean and renewed, alive and vibrant, full of thankfulness.

But as for me, I will sing about your power.
      Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
   For you have been my refuge,
      a place of safety when I am in distress.

Psalm 59:16

    You can have the sunrise in the mornings. I'll take the sunsets and multitude of stars on a sweet summer's night. (Tho, the sweet baby sounds lovely!!!)

    I have a thing for looking out my kitchen window! And singing "For the beauty of the earth". You reminded me of that! The sun came out today around supper, after several days in a row of cloud, and what a beautiful thing it was to see!
