Last night, I went to sleep way too early and slept most of the night, so after a long night’s rest, I was ready to wake up early this morning to be with the puppies playing and Dado getting ready for school.

I stepped outside with Sweetie Pie and Ginger Bread and was surrounded by the darkness of early morning. It was a brrrr cold greeting. Ha! We evacuated fast back into our warm home, and I settled down with the pups lying on my lap and me sitting on the couch.

As the black of the night turned into twilight, with pale blue lights just hovering over the horizon, I kept thinking about all the tasks I needed to do that day. Pushing them away, I turned to my hands, holding a warm cup of coffee! Warmth and calm.

At sunrise, we again stood on the deck and marveled at the sudden changes as the sun’s rays began to claim the day and touch the low clouds, turning them into a blazing superhighway!

Short-lived, I tried to hold this glorious sight in my mind and heart as I began to wonder about all the changes we go through and how quickly life can change.

I’m reminded of how God is here for us and holds our hand along the way. Wishing each of you blessings of grace and love ~

Watchful eyes
Sunrise colors fade
“Still, I rise”
