As for me, I was up at about 5.00am, thereabouts. Perhaps it has to do with age, and I have noticed that it is easy for me to wake up in the wee hours of the morning. And on a holiday, how wonderfully sweet it is to do so.
Up in the morning, while it is still dark, and nary a vehicle passing by,
Only the birds chirping, singing their praises to the Creator,
And with gladness of heart, I awake with the dawn,
And celebrate L I F E !
How wonderful it is to be alive,
To taste and see that the Lord is good
Nothing good He with-holds from those who seek Him continuously,
My heart sings His praise for His faithfulness to me, and my family,
How I thrill with joy to be His, to enjoy Him,
How amazing that the Creator of all that is seen and unseen,
Would choose to make Himself known to me, frail and fallen,
I thank Him for all His blessings,
Truly I see, and understand what the Psalmist meant,
When he said 'how exceeding are Your thoughts towards us,
If I were to count it, it would surpass the sand on the beach'
Indeed, such thoughts are too wonderful to comprehend
Ah, the joy and pleasure of an early morning talk with God,
The peace and satisfaction of open hearted communion with Him,
He who will not chide, He who would not condemn,
Only nurture, teach, support, and show the way,
An early morning post to celebrate His goodness,
And to appreciate His blessings of family,
My lovely partner of 22 plus years, Jessie,
My lovely girls, a true blessing from Him,
Carissa, sensitive and true,
Rachel, lively and fun,
What more could a man ask for?
YOU O LORD my GOD has given me MORE than I deserve,
Your grace is truly sufficient for me
My life is Yours!
