First Day of my Mini Sabbatical – Glorious Morning

So begins my mini-Sabbatical. Thank you Ray for the blessing prayer you prayed with me on Friday for my send-off.  I began my day as I do, early in the morning (5 am) as I have always been an early riser.  I sit out on my front porch waiting for the sunrise and listen to the world.  There is the soothing sound of the wind blowing gently through the trees and the comforting sound of the crickets telling me that all is well.  I read the day 251 in The Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn so graciously given to us by Kris.  This day’s reading is appropriate as it is titled The Miracle World.  The story is asking us to imagine the world without light – to always live in darkness.  The miracle is that the sun, through the grace of God, rises each day to chase the darkness away.  I think this is telling us to be mindful of the beauty of the world and that this beauty reflects the love God has for each of us.  Without the light, we would not be able to appreciate the gift we have been given and without God we would only live a dark life. Today I begin my service to Global Samaritan Resources and I will hold this day’s teachings in my mind as I am taught how to record the inventory for this outstanding organization.  I think that they are playing their part in bring the “light” to others in need.  As Psalm 19:1 states “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
