Morning Joy

I missed waking up to the sunshine this morning. The sun takes a little longer to get up over the hill here, then the back porch blocks the rays into the bedroom window. (But I do love my back porch!) While we were at my parents, the sun awoke me each morning, shining brightly right into the room. What a delightful way to start a day! Our next house will have our bedroom facing east, most definitely!

This afternoon was spent at the church while My Beloved had his home school chemistry lab class. I worked on final grades for my own class and got some walking done in the gym while I waited, listening to a couple of downloads of The Incomparable Christ from Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Leigh DeMoss on my ipod. It's good preparation for remembering His death, burial, and triumphant resurrection.

Final grades close out the expository writing class. My goal was to help the students develop skills that will equip them to be effective voices of truth, a great need in our current culture.

May your joys be as bright as the morning, 
and your sorrows merely be shadows that fade in the sunlight of love. 
May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet, 
enough trials to keep you strong, 
enough sorrow to keep you human, 
enough hope to keep you happy, 
enough failure to keep you humble, 
enough success to keep you eager, 
enough friends to give you comfort....

First Thoughts at Sunrise

Snow-Draped Trees at Sunrise

"For Christians, the beginning of the day should not be burdened and haunted by various kinds of concerns that they face during the day. The Lord stands above the new day, for God has made it. All restlessness, all impurity, all worry and anxiety flee before him. Therefore, in the early morning hours of the day, may our many thoughts and our many idle words be silent and may the first word and the first thought belong to the one to whom our whole life belongs." 
Dietrich Bonhoeffer ~ Life Together: A Discussion of Christian Fellowship
