2nd CHANCE SUNRISE!

Somedays we all need a "do-over"!!
How grateful I am that Father God gave us His son Jesus so we could do just that.

Repent in Jesus name. Ask forgiveness and you're ready for a do-over!

Think sunrise in spirit because of rising up of God's Son.

God's Son Rises!

Pithy with purpose!

SUNRISE--SUNSET!

Thank you Lord for keeping me from being plagued by persistent problems, especially ones of fear and varying medical conditions of both self and hubby! May I praise you regardless!

A praise song kept coming to mind yesterday!

"10,000 Reasons" a praise song I first heard in Kompass Park, Ukraine on my 2012 mission trip there.

I looked east out the kitchen window @1/16/2026--7:32 am.....

"… The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again."

Thank you Lord for a "beautiful reminder" tp start my day.

Creator God did not stop there! His hand was clearly shown out eastern window of our great room at sunset @ 1/16/2026--5:52 pm...

"Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes"

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised! (Psalm 113:3)

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name (emphasis mine)

From sunrise to sunset!!

PERPETUAL WORSHIP!

SUNRISE!

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised! (Psalm 113:3)

View from breakfast table

May we all become "ablaze for the glory of God." (My Utmost for His Highest, 12/27)

Blessed as Hosea said, "Let us press on to know the LORD; His going out is sure as the dawn;...." 

Blessed be the name of the LORD from sunrise to sunset!

CHOOSE: PRAISE

Signs of God's creation have a way of making my heart leap in praise. Such was the case this past weekend in Brentwood when God's sunset had me in awe!

They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. (Psalm 65:8)

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised. (Psalm 113:3)

Sunlight + Sonlight = Warmth

3/9/10 Morning light is coming sooner these days. Oh, I still dress in the dark but when I arrive at work at 5:45 there is that hint of sunrise. It can just warm me all over. It gives me that glimmer of hope.

In the early morning darkness, it helps if someone else is there to walk alongside or to lead especially if they’ve walked this way many times in the past. During these past dark, dreary winter months, especially when our lone parking lot light wasn’t working, I've had to fumble for my belongings (you know what bag ladies teachers can be!) and stumble toward the entry.

Have you ever stumbled in the dark? What is it about darkness?

Maybe a better question would be, “What is it about the light?” It exposes all those bumps on our path and clearly shows the way to our destination. Sometimes just a small light can help---that’s why I keep a flashlight in my purse and by my bed. All “just in case” kind of gals do that, I think. Light helps to determine direction while waiting for the sunrise.

God’s word continues to be a “lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” as it says in Psalm 119: 105. That lamp shines for the steps I need to take today---those that are right in front of me. That light illuminates the entire path that is before me---my spiritual journey. It’s the light that keeps me from stumbling in the darkness of self. It’s the Sonlight that warms me and gives me hope.
