I love how God blesses us upon waking with birdsong and bright light. We come out of the darkness of night and into the glorious beauty of rising again with God. Let us not be too tight on our schedules that we do not have time to set the tone for the day with God first.
Just as importantly, let us end our long day in thankfulness with God. Even if we have had the worst day of our lives let us reflect on the glimmers of God we noticed and tell Holy thank you.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. Matthew 13:16
Awaken to the blessings of God among us today. Those deer, turkeys, vultures, sparrows, hawks, raccoons, and other people who give a kind word speak of the blessings of God. Take notice. Ask for deeper meaning. Be thankful for the blessings.
