A Breath in the Morning


Ah, Saturday mornings in the Spring... when the sun is shining down warm and soft from a velvet blue sky. It's the kind of morning when you want to be sitting on the porch with a cup of warm coffee in your hands to warm your fingers from the last nip of winter hanging on the breeze.

This kind of morning resinates peace. As I watch the barn cats playing in the flowerbed I am reminded of all of the other times that I've sat outside in the morning. If you ever want to escape from the world for a time, this is the opportunity! Now, when the sun is newly hung in the sky and the birds have just been awaken from their nests into a new day.... It's easy to imagine God smiling down on this world. Does He sigh and repeat to himself, "It is good"? For this moment you can forget about all of the troubles in the world and concentrate solely on the Creator.

And you can ask, "What plans do You have for me, God? What adventures have You laid in store for us to conquer together this next week?"

Assr vĂ­sa ykkarr brand.
(May God guide your sword.)
