Morning has broken ......



February 16, 2014: Morning has broken, like the first morning.




When I woke this morning the sun was just peaking over the horizon.  I slid into my shoes, grabbed my sweatshirt, and slipped out the door to see my first sunrise in 2 months … and the sound of blackbirds chattering in the Oleanders.  My thoughts went immediately to Cat Stevens singing “Morning has Broken”.   




Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word




Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day



As much as we loved our time in the resort in Apache Junction, this is what we crave.  The dark, quiet nights.  Greeting the sun in the morning.  Watching the sun sink below the horizon in the evening.  Our new digs, Escapees (SKPs) RoVers Roost Park, is pretty basic – but getting to see God’s handiwork every morning and evening is anything but basic.  How blessed are we?
