Glory In The Morning

I read this poem in one of my favorite little books the other day and just wanted to share it with you. It is from Stories for a kindred Heart.
Glory in the Morning

It's 5:30 A.M. and the dark doors of Night. I sit on my porch swing under a dark-green umbrella of maple leaves that hover maternally over the porch roof. And I wait for Sun.

A Thin wisp of steam hovers expectantly over the coffee cup I hold.The air vibrates with ecstatic birdsong.Cat curls beside me for her final nap before breakfast. Morning-glories prepare to unfurl the blue trumpets. Then it happens, and I am as awestruck as if I had never seen a sunrise.

Curtains of Night draw back silently, and Sun bursts merrily over the blue haze of distant hills,painting earth in green and brown stripes. It is morning... and it is glorious!

I listen, and hear Sun whistle a song of new opportunity. I hear Nature's first day-son waiting to be sung, and am reminded that

"This is the day the Lord has made." And I decide to "rejoice and be glad in it."

By Linda Anderson

Morning is one of my favorite times of day and someday I will be able to do what she is doing in this poem. But in the mean time I give all the glory to God for giving us such beauty to enjoy!

Please pray for my mother in law. Her name is Vivian and she will be having back surgery this coming week. The day is still unknown. She is 79 and she is very weak, thank-you so very much.

God Bless,

Ginger

Good morning,
I think that by now everyone knows that I have 3 grandchildren. I was a very young mom I had my daughter 3 day's after I turned 18. Being such a young mom I didn't really realize how important tradition was until I was much older.

Neither one of our grand children's other grandparents go to church matter of fact I don't even know if one is a believer. The one grandma takes the boys to the park almost every Sat. the boys look forward to this day. It is a tradition that she started a few years ago. So being who I am I'm thinking I wish that I could do something like that every week. Then as I was reading these scriptures I realized that I am doing just that.

Exodus 20:4-6

4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

That is pretty powerful when you think about he will show love for thousands of generations! I can not think of any better tradition than that.

My husband and I live our lives for God. We go to church every Sunday and our 2 grandsons go with us every Sunday. This is a decision and a tradition that I hope will last there life time, and there children's life time.

Please pray that our granddaughter will be able to be a part of our Sunday's soon.
Also can you please pray that our son will start to come to church as well as his family
Thank-you
Our grandson Max will be having his surgery Monday he has a hernia, they have had to
postpone this surgery in the past because he had Pneumonia. So were praying his health will be good enough on Monday.
Thank-you and God Bless you.

Hebrews 13

2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.


When ever I read this small little verse it brings such a smile to my face. I can just imagine the angles in Heaven enjoying themselves in our behalf. I hope that I can make someone smile today!

Have a Blessed day,
Ginger
