The Moon at Sunrise

All bundled up, I step out into the icy dawn. I look over to my right and there is a scissor-tailed mockingbird staring at me from the guardrail, (How beautiful God). My breath dancing in the cold air(How beautiful God), I scurry over to my car where the frost has decorated my windows (how beautiful God).

I make my way to starbucks for some white chocolate mocha and pumpkin bread, make my order, the lady at the drive through is so cheerful, a good spirit about her, that it reminds me that good manners go a long way and make peoples days (How beautiful God).

So I'm on my way back home, and I'm listening to a song about God's Mercy.  Driving the opposite direction of the sunrise, I glance up to the sky to scout out anymore beautiful birds or pretty clouds...and low and behold, I see the graceful face of the moon, the full moon, BIG in the sky....at sunrise (HOW BEAUTIFUL GOD).  Then I think of what our Creator says of Mercy...  Each morning His mercies are made new... meaning ... it never ends.  The moon starts to quietly fade out and the glory of the sun makes its entrances into the new created day.

HOW BEAUTIFUL GOD is with His creation and to show that His mercies are new each day, not just yesterday or today, but for each NEW DAY.  So as you wake up in the morning...just think...God has brought a new day..the old is passed. 

I leave you with a song and a scripture of mercy and hope.  ENJOY



The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
  his mercies never come to an end;
 they are new every morning;
  great is your faithfulness.
 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
  “therefore I will hope in him.”
(Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV)

  1. so very true... The little hugs and kisses that God sends us each day that most people look over. And YES, a positive attitude and smile are contagious and are a blessing to others. Thanks for the post. -- Ang
