Dear God,

This morning you awakened me early and invited me to your magnificent sunrise.  As I opened the blinds and crawled back into bed, I watched the darkness turn to light, then to red, purple, gray and white.  As colors splashed across the sky, I watched as you revealed your love of creation and the creation for all her creatures.  And to think this creative event takes place every morning of every day.

More often than not, we miss your creative work.  If we wait to rise later in the morning, we have already missed a main event.  We never even give it a thought.  But not this morning, this morning's main event was my main event all day long.

O God,

forgive us

for forgetting

the best part

of every day

is time

spent with you.

Remind us

to reprioritize

our lives,

to use

early morning

to get

in sync

with you first.

Whisper to us

every morning,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
