Views of the sunrise from my balcony are usually pretty spectacular, so not yet having participated in this week's FMF challenge, I was excited to be up early enough to witness the break of day. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? My plan was to spend my five minutes capturing an amazing daybreak to share with you all instead.
Well, so much for that.
There were no deep pinks or purples or oranges or reds streaking across the sky. I think it may be the first time I've ever witnessed such an unremarkable break of day.
I am grateful for the gift of a new day, and that there was a daybreak at all, and that I was up early enough to catch it such as it was. And, I'm sure there must be a lesson in all this. I'm just not sure what that may be? If any of you have any thoughts, please do share.
I guess my thought is..Not every day is full of excitement and color...some days are just plain ordinary ... except we have awaken and a new fresh day has begun. That's enough to praise the Lord for..I think.
ReplyDeleteGood FMF post.

That's a good insight, Sue. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteIt is still beautiful, but Golden!
ReplyDeleteSometimes dawn's miraculous,
ReplyDeletebright colours, a whole pallette-full!
But it often don't deserve a fuss,
because it's just plain dull,
a red sun in a musty sky,
unheralded, unheralding,
a great big 'meh' unto the eye,
but such a day might bring
angel-visits in disguise,
to guide us, and protect
from Satan's lures and Satan's lies,
so it's best not to project
a boring start to a new day
to expect that it will end that way.
Thanks, Andrew, for sharing this perspective. You are so right.
DeleteI think He has something spectacular in store for you. You just wait and see!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos nonetheless.
Happy Easter, Sandra.
