Sunrise.
What do you think of when you hear the word?
Camping trips? Beautiful pictures?
Not seeing it because you like to sleep in?
Not seeing it because you like to sleep in?
I love sunrise. I actually love dark & early, then...
a
new
beginning.
An old saying goes something like this:
"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present."
That's why it's called the present."
God's gift. Our present.
Like a shade rises from covering a window, seeing the sun come up over the horizon - growing, shining, with an ever-increasing amount of light - brings forth a whole new beginning….
I can't help but think that God designed the beauty of sunrise for a number of specific reasons. It’s a splendor enjoyed by those who make the intentional decision to get up before dawn to watch the display of God's unwrapping of the gift of a new day through the unveiling of a sunrise. A proverbial paintbrush and palette, producing a masterpiece of unique color and display that cannot be imagined, predicted, or repeated.
Dawn’s production.
Exposed.
Revealed.
Displayed in majesty.
A new day arises, yawns, stretches, and begins.
“Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note;
today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely”
Kay Lyonstoday is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely”
