What I like best about early mornings is the quiet.
No one is yelling or complaining
the day has barely begun
and still holds all it’s wonderful possibilities.

I’m not an early riser.  I prefer to hope for five more minutes that stretches to fifteen.
But sometimes I make it up
and then I’m grateful
for the stillness
and the hope.

May your unfailing love rest upon us, 
O Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.  
Psalm 33: 22
