Today was a special morning. I lay in bed, slowly awaking to what is sure to be a beautiful day. It was wonderful to lie there, enjoying the last moments of my slumber. I savored the tingling of my senses by the unhurried instrusion of the day. The sun quietly peeking in through the windows chasing away the last shadows of the night. The melodious songs of the birds creeping in, interrupting my dreamy thoughts. I lay there trapped in a world between sweet dreams and alertness, drifting back and forth into both worlds. My eyes struggling to open, to take in the sights of a new day. My mind fighting to free itself from sluggish sleep. But I lay there, still, quiet, enjoying the arrival of a new day, a beautiful day, my birthday.
As I lay there, my thoughts became a behive of activity. My mind arose to thoughts of thankfulness. Thankfulness to God for a such a beautiful day to celebrate. Thankfulness for another year of life, another year to live for Him! Thankfulness for my husband and children, and for Christ. Thankfulness for our church, our family, and friends. I lay there reflecting over my life and all that God has done. In those first, still, quiet moments of this day, my birthday, I declared my love for our wonderful Lord! I renewed my pledge to live for Him! My life is Yours, Lord!
"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:8
In His Love, Cathy
