Oh, what a beautiful mornin'

Early morning is one of the most beautiful times of the day, particularly on mornings like today when the kitchen is bathed in sunshine (making me feel awake and alive even before my morning cup of tea!) I rarely have the time or energy to appreciate how lovely an early morning can be, but this morning I’ve had time to sit and be still and just appreciate the wonders of God’s creation – the daffodils outside, the birds singing… sheer bliss. After an emotionally charged couple of days, it is a joy just to feel at peace with the world again.
