Good Morning My Friends
True friendship doesn’t require a conversation everyday but a deeper sense of knowing that the other person is there – just a call, message or visit away. I have much to be grateful for and true friendship is one of those things.
In taking pictures of sunrises and sharing them with friends over the past few years I hope I have helped folks start their day with a smile and pause to remember the greatness of our magnificent Creator. Today I will begin sharing some of those images here – with you.
When morning dawns and evening fades you call forth songs of joy (Psalm 65:8).
Each morning, the dull gray gives way as He pushes the sun toward the horizon, and the tints and hues of every color begin to blend into one perfect light as the full sun suddenly bursts into view. As king of the day, the sun moves majestically across the sky, flooding the earth and every deep valley with glorious light.

The clear, pure light of the morning made me yearn for the truth in my heart, which alone could make me pure and clear as the morning itself and tune my life to the concert pitch of nature around me. And the breeze that blew from the sunrise made me hope in God, who had breathed into my nostrils the breath of life. He had so completely filled me with His breath, mind and Spirit that I would only think His thoughts and live His life. Within His life I had found my own, but now it was eternally glorified.*
In early morning hours
Twixt the night and day
While from the earth the darkness passes
Silently away
Then it’s sweet to talk with God
In your bedroom still
For the coming day and duties
Ask to know His will
Then He’ll lead the way before you
Laying mountains low
Making desert places blossom
Sweetening sorrow’s flow
Do you want a life of triumph
Victory all the way?
Then put God in the beginning
Of each coming day.
