Early Morning Writer

This will be a busy day as we prepare for our family Easter dinner. But before the cooking and baking begins, I just had to take a few minutes to sit and write to you.

I am one of those early morning writers, but I have not always been like that. When I was growing up and had my share of worries and disappointments, I remember my mom suggesting that I go on to bed and get some rest. She would encourage me by saying that everything would look different in the morning.


As you can see, not everyone in my house shares my love of early morning. Sometimes our little cat, Luna, is asleep in the chair when I walk into my office to start writing. I thought that cats were supposed to be nocturnal, but she always blinks her eyes and looks at me as if a little more sleep would be nice. Or sometimes she doesn't even let me disturb her rest.

Now I must admit that my favorite part of the day is early, early morning. And my mom was right. Things do look different in then. Early morning is such a perfect time to write. . . before the needs of the day start to crowd in for attention. It is such a sweet time to pray and read the Bible.





What about you? When is your favorite time to be alone with God?

Sweet Spring Surprises

This afternoon I spent some time clearing a few stray leaves that had managed to stay in my garden for the winter. A few days ago, we were snowed in. Seriously! We had enough snow to close things down, and as you know this is Easter week. Here is what is left of that white stuff.

I wasn't sure when it snowed that the spring flowers would survive. Some are hardy enough to stand up to the snow, but I sure couldn't remember which ones. Such sweet surprises awaited me this afternoon!




Won't you join me in saying just how amazing Jesus is? Just when we think that things are one way, everything changes. Jesus is full of sweet surprises. . . just like the flowers He greeted me with today.
