On a quiet morning, you will find me sitting in my overstuffed burgundy recliner peering out the window at birds that visit my feeder daily. From regal Cardinals that come to remind us that our loved ones are near to the tiniest little finches that drop by to say, “Hello …” I could get lost for hours right here admiring their beauty and the Creator who formed them with His own hands.
After whipping up a blueberry smoothie to start my day, with just the rhythmic ticking of the clock in the quiet and stillness of the morning, I prepare to open my heart to God’s Word. With my journaling bible in hand, I flip to a section in the bible to begin reading. Filling my cup with God’s promises, I can think of no better way to start the day!
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
That does sound like a wonderful way to start a morning!
Hi Shirley. Your quiet time in the morning sounds so serene. And how lovely your view is too! I’d be totally distracted by such beauty outside. I love the verses you highlighted here. They’re a great reminder of the love of the Lord slipping gently into our days with quiet and unassuming grace. His mercies are new every morning; great is His faithfulness! Blessed by my visit from #FMF 🙂
