Wow! I'm not a morning person, but this was worth experiencing! I was house/dog sitting so this was a real treat. It's mid March and winter is still hanging in there. No Easter bonnets this year, but the egg hunt on the lawn shoud be easy!
I've been re-reading Brian McClaren's book, "The Secret Message of Jesus". He talks alot about the Kingdom of God as being now and to come. Watching the sunrise, was one of the glimpses of God's desire for us to experience his blessings now. How much do I miss by being too busy to see this earth and the people on it thru God's eyes? My hope for this year is to learn to really see and then responding with awe and gratitude...maybe by giving a smile to a sad person or picking up a piece of trash rather than just walking by. Not changing the world all at once, but one small piece at a time! As Anne Lamont said,"one bird at a time, one bird at a time."
