About how lovely is the morning

I am musing...

about "how lovely is the morning...."

and our always loving God.

Who else knows that beautiful song from the Zion's Harp hymnal...
"Oh How Lovely Is the Morning, When it is BEGUN with God....."?

Love it! It was running through my mind this morning as I was out watering the flowers, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the freshness of the new day.

And the refrain continued to run through my mind.....

"Oh how lovely" is the daytime, when it is CONTROLLED by God.....

"Oh how lovely" is the hour, when it is FILLED UP by God....

"Oh how lovely" is the time of challenge, when it is FACED WITH God...

"Oh how lovely" is the time of joy, when it is CELEBRATED with God.....

"Oh how lovely" is the time of blessing, when it is ENJOYED with God....

"Oh how lovely" is the time of sorrow, when it is COMFORTED by God...

"Oh how lovely" is the evening, when it is COMPLETE with God...

"Oh how lovely" is anytime.... when it is spent with God!!

Our "always God". He is always needed, always providing, always there...for us!!

Thank You and God Bless!!

Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

A story of a story of The Story

Updated: Jul 19, 2023 So I have a story. A sweet story. It has to do with my Dad. I love my Dad. He is caring and helpful. He is intelligent and thoughtful. He loves God. He loves his family. And, he wrote a book. A children's book. He called it Ben and Kit. Let's back up a bit. For years, our folks would head down to Florida for the winter. They enjoyed their time there. It gave them a chance to pursue some interests. And to just relax. My mom is a painter. I wrote a blog about her awhile back. You may recall of the winter that she was given an opportunity to paint a mural on the wall of a lanai for a lady that she met down there. She painted a lovely beach scene and had so much fun doing it. She did a great job! Our Dad was proud of her. He shared of how Mom was enjoying this creative venture. We all were happy for her. But I felt a little bad for Dad, who was left alone somewhat while mom was away painting. After all, that was not their norm, for they usu...

Just What is it About this Time of Year?

I am musing and marveling about.... Just what is it about this time of year?? It is a time of "peace on Earth, good will to men". It is a time of universal sharing, caring and giving. It is a time when people open their hearts, their homes and their pocketbooks. It is a time of nostalgia; a time of dreaming. It is a time of childhood wonder (no matter your age), It is a time of chorales, symphonies, caroling and ..... humming. It is a time of togetherness, a time for connectivity (or at least a desire for it). It is a time of extreme busyness (pre-Covid anyway) and yet a time we yearn for quiet and pause. It is a time of reflection. It is a time of memory making and memory stirring. It is a time of healing or a time when healing feels so needed. It is a time of emotion, when feelings reign strong. It is a time when grief hits harder and joys abound more fully. It is a time of beauty and serenity and warmth. It is a time of reaching out and reaching in. It is a time of cozy...
