dawn

waking after a restless night, deciding to start the day.
realizing how much better it feels to start early than end late.
eating my eggs, sipping my coffee, listening to the birds stir, and smiling.
I can see why the Proverbs 31 woman rises early.


My heart is steadfast, O God!
I will sing and make melody with all my being!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

       (Psalm 108:1-4; 57:7-10 ESV)
