Dainty cups of white, heads bowed low
On tender stems that bend with weight
Push through the dirt and grime
Surrounded by strong broad leaves
Drink living water
Burst forth heralding a new life
And bow before the risen King
Lily of the Valley

Being Still
I didn’t used to enjoy the early mornings.
In fact, my response to people about mornings was “I’m a night person”.
Something happened over the years. Now it is the opposite.
I’m an early riser, and I enjoy it.
I enjoy the quiet time before the hustle and chaos of the day begins.
I listen to the creak of the house, and the birds beginning their morning chatter.
Sometimes I just sit and look out the window, thinking and talking to God.
Sometimes I spend time reading His Word.
Sometimes I do both.
The day is ahead of me, clamoring for my attention. Not yet, I say.
Now I choose to enjoy the treasure.
Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
Sunday – Simmering in Scripture
“By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating he had done.” Genesis 2:2,3
