morning

It seems that, with all our technology today, we have become dependent on hardware, software, motors, engines and electronic windows on the world.  For the most part these devices work well and help us navigate efficiently through the day.  Occasionally, however, something jams, freezes or stalls.  I have discovered that many of these products have a "reset" button or switch, or sometimes you have to "power down", wait and then "power up" to restore function.  It occurs to me that we have a "reset" button with every morning in our lives.  The accumulated tension, frustration and weariness of each day can be left (or set on "pause") with each day's end.  We are refreshed and recharged by sleep and we step into a new morning.  And there is something fresh about morning.  As the sun breaks the horizon it is as if each day is the first day.  The sky seems to awaken, as we do, from sleep.  There is a quietness all about, broken only by a few birds hailing the dawn.  We emerge from the fog of sleep with a renewed mind and a fresh perspective to reengage the world.  It is as if the Lord gives us a fresh start with each day.  Spring mornings are especially beautiful here in Virginia and the beauty of the land and sky make it almost impossible not to start the new day with a hopeful heart!   Lamentations 3:22 Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed,       Because His compassions fail not.        23 They are new every morning;       Great is Your faithfulness.    blessings, Rob Smith http://2daysthought.blogspot.com/
