There are some mornings when one wakes up before she has to get up - it is a delightfull moment of rest and stillness to be aware of the goodness of God.
I woke before my body stirred
Silently aware of a peaceful settledness
thoughts still forming into words of gratitude.
My Heavenly Father cares for me.
While I slept
He orchestrated
Galaxies, Governments,
Good works for me to walk in.
Eyes still closed,
petitions filter through my praise.
A handmaid expectantly looking to her Lord
for daily provision and direction.
Gradually upon my senses dawned
the warmth of my bedding,
a wisp of fresh air,
a brightening behind the window blinds,
the ticking of the clock.
the patient whimpering of a hungry dog.
Heart full, eyes open, feet now on the ground.
This is the Day that the Lord has Made.
