I ❤ mornings.  A fresh cup of coffee. And the smell of possibility. A quiet moment to consider all of the potential this new day holds. A few minutes to reflect and give thanks to God and pray. One of the things I enjoy most about mornings is that I tend to see possibility and opportunity more so than issues and problems. And my faith and hope seem to rise above my fears and anxieties. It’s the time of day that I’m most aware of my desperate need for God and my inability to do it all on my own.

Thanking God for another day. A precious gift. Another chance for each of us to shine bright, to love and encourage others, and to see all of the possibilities God has for us in the next 24 hours. May we turn away from what we know is not serving us well and choose to live for so much more!
