My eyes sprang open in the wee hours of the morning. Rest was accomplished and His thoughts filled my mind for the new day. A silent song of praise played in my head, a song only He and I could hear. Downstairs in the dimly lit kitchen I put on a pot of coffee and welcomed the pleasant aroma surrounding me in the warm coziness of the room. The first glimpse of the coming day was already peeking quietly through the window, and my Lord beckoned me to share the sunrise with Him.
Up on the balcony, coffee in hand, posed for the event, I wasn’t prepared for the glorious spectacular that unfolded before my eyes. The crescent moon was shining silver, high in the sky and looked down at me smiling in mischievous anticipation.
Humming birds were dancing busily around the flowered trees in the shadows of the morning.
A gentle golden light began to fill the bottom of the black night. It glistened like honey oozing over a jar.
A rooster crowed announcing the dawn. Then beautiful music filled my ears as a chorus of mother birds sang out cheerfully while taking to flight over the tree tops in search of food for a thousand baby birds that all seemed to harmonize at once in a melodic tune.
It took only a few moments for the soft glow at the base to fade the black night to a dim grey then a subtle blue. Pink cotton candy clouds emerged from the darkness and were surrounded by flamingo colored images in every shape and size. A fresh new day began.
The best was yet to come when a ball of fire gingerly floated onto the horizon sending out from its core glorious illuminated rays of white, purple and orange. The beams reached up, up into the heavens and transformed the sky to a magnificent radiance. The feathered creatures became still in a moment of silence while God’s majesty filled the earth. I held my breath! I knew in my heart that my eyes were close to imagining and my mind was close to conceiving what God has prepared in heaven for those that love him.
