The Morning...

Good morning world!

The Mighty One, God, the Lord, 
speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets.
Psalm 50:1


What a blessing it is to get up each morning and watch the world wake up and see the dawn of a new day.
Sleeping in is nice sometimes, but who would want to miss this?

These are good days. Oh, I know, there is a lot of bad going on and sadness and chaos, but these are good days. It just depends on how you look at it. Even in the hard things, we are on an adventure with God to see how we can help to further the Kingdom in all we say, do, think, act and live. This week I have watched a Godly young woman deal with a serious breast cancer prognosis. She has four children and a wonderful husband. Her attitude is beautiful. She knows the Lord is in charge and that there is no where else she would rather be than in His hands.

Looking at the road ahead of her...she rejoices at what opportunities there will be to glorify Him and to see how He is working in her life. You can't explain that kind of faith. You can't explain the love of God and how He rules. The supernatural in our lives- the working of the Spirit. I am thankful that He loves and cares and never leaves us.  I am thankful for His children that have joy and faith even in the midst of trouble.

Please join me in praying for Denise and her sweet family:
