It’s 4am in the morning. This is the second time this week I have found myself up at this time. Mostly I can’t seem to stop things going round and round my head at this time of morning and tonight the discotech isn’t helping either. It’s very annoying. Although the other morning I did watch a lovely sunrise on the roof. As someone who is definitely not a morning person I hate to admit but sunrise really is a very special tome of day. The light, the noises of the world starting to stir and the sense of awe one feels for the creator. I was very struck by the miracle of it all and was reminded again that the light will always come and put out the darkness. Sunrise is a reminder that despite it all God keeps trying again with creation and with me. And I was thankful as I seem to be a lot lately for this grace.
I feel the same way about sunrises. A peaceful and expectant time as the day comes alive. Not being a morning person either, I don’t see them very often, but I enjoy them all the more when I do!
