DAWN OF A NEW DAY
I have always been an early riser and nothing has changed in the years since I retired. I find the time just before sunrise to be very peaceful. A time in which I am fresh in mind, body and spirit. Stillness, complete stillness with no interference from other sources. It’s a time to communicate with God and listen to His reply. I took this photo on one such morning.
DAWN
During my reading this morning I came across this little written piece that I felt fit in with what I was experiencing today.
MY PURPOSE
To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face;
To greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains;
To approach my work with a clean mind;
To hold ever before me, even in doing of little things, the Ultimate Purpose toward which I am working;
To meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart;
To be gentle and kind, and courteous through all the hours;
To approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep, and the joy that comes from work well done –
This is how I desire to waste wisely my days.

BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

Hey,
I just found your blog and found it really exciting to read. Very true… To wake up in the morning is itself a different feel. You wake up to find yourself feel simply fresh and relaxed. Everything around you seems just too beautiful.
Though i’m a late riser but sometimes even i prefer to follow up an early schedule for my day.
