Mornings

   Mornings are my favorite time of day.  Especially in the spring and fall the cool of the morning is a wonderful way to shake off the sleep and wake up to the new day.  Taking a walk just after dawn when the world is beginning to awaken and greet the day is the perfect time to put things in perspective; to let yesterday go and look to the new day. 

  So many times we rush into the day still concerned with yesterday.  We can't offer ourselves to the day and the blessings God wants to send our way while still occupied with the past.  We risk missing the beauty and oppotunities of the new day when we can do nothing to change the past.

   Take a moment or two to welcome the day.  Thank God for bringing you safely through the night.  Offer the new day to Him in all you do.  Stop and see the beauty of the world He has given us and give thanks.

   Then, with a prayer in your heart and faith in God's love and mercy, go out and be the best person you can be.
