The Rewards of Being An Early Riser


Greetings! This beautiful Sunrise picture was taken from the window of my computer room at our house in Troy, Missouri (probably 2 yrs ago). I am an early riser and it is sights such as this that make it worth while. It helps you start your day reveling in the majesty of our Lord and counting your blessings.

The following is a hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon,from my Breakfast With God book:

Morning has broken like the first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the Morning!
Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word!

Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dew-fall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Spring in completeness where his feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's re-creation of the new day!

I hope you get to see several sunrises in your lifetime. Take care and God Bless.

Love the song. Wish I knew the tune. I'm going to copy it to my "keepers" folder.

Blessings.
