Sing praises to the LORD, O you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name. As you have seen from my lack of posts, I have found it very hard to write in the past several weeks. The pandemic has spread across our world and close to home. The chances to take my camera, walk in God’s world, and listen for his voice have been greatly diminished. Darkness and weariness have set in as my routine and my view of the world seems to be the same every day.
Gratefully this past week we were able to go camping very close to home. The best thing about this campground is that it is only a 1 minute walk from the camper down to the lake with view to the east. Each morning it was so easy to watch the sunrise, each one a little different. On the last day of our trip I walked down to the lake only to see a large cloud right where the sun was going to come up. I almost went back up the hill but I decided to stay. As the sun broke through the cloud I saw a sunrise like I have never seen before. The sun made the mist that was rising from the lake shine like pure gold. It was just amazing to see everything cast in golden light, the mist like fire on the water. During times of darkness and weariness that we all face, the sunrise reminds us that God has promised to replace our weeping with joy in ways that will last a lifetime, beyond anything we can imagine. To him we sing our praise Prayer God of Morning Light Remind us in our darkest hour that your joy will come again with morning in ways we cannot fathom. We sing praise to our Lord who gives us amazing sunrises. Amen

Karen, when Elizabeth was born in the wee hours of the morning Mike came in with flowers and that verse was on the card -“...weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” She has definitely been a joy ever since!
