Picture the orange, pink glow on the horizon; the cool morning breeze; the smell of forest pine; the crunch of rocky earth beneath your feet. Then you see it--the big yellow blaze--the sun! It's a sunrise! Don't you just love watching a sunrise? It is a beautiful miracle each morning.
Well, this is the sunrise of my blog!
How shall I compare my blog to a sunrise? Hopefully my blog will have some moments of beauty. Lord willing it will provide refreshment for some. I do not watch many sunrises because I am not a morning person. (I love watching sunsets, too, and those are easier for me to catch). I probably haven't watched one, purposefully, in years. Many years ago, a friend tried to convince me that I should write a blog. "I rarely check my email," I protested. So this blog is like me watching a sunrise in that it is delayed. I feel a tinge of excitement when watching a sunrise as I am right now in creating a blog.
The inspiration for the title "Finding at Sunrise" is from my favorite little poem included below.
God is in every tomorrow,And each sunrise is a new beginning for His mercies are new with the morning. (ref. Lamentations 3:22, 23)
Therefore I live for today,
Certain of finding at sunrise,
Guidance and strength for my way;
Power for each moment of weakness,
Hope for each moment of pain,
Comfort for every sorrow,
Sunshine and joy after rain.
