Gentleness of sunrise
Balance breathes again
Sharing wonder of light
Landscape sings “Amen”
Another soul wakens
Patience gathers near
Offering way homeward
Today, never fear
Joy softens hardened heart
Grace deals one more hand
Playing out game of choice
Hope’s journey shall stand
Waves of freedom compose
Tomorrow’s high road
Navigating with trust
Life’s spirit reloads
Harmony overcomes
Each moment to prize
Uplifting from heavens
Tender at sunrise
Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible Sun within us.
A quiet mind cures all.
Robert Burton (1577-1640) was a English scholar, clergyman, and author.
Each sunrise offers a fresh opportunity to embrace.

Imparting truth to man

Walking with Christ’s convoy

Opening Heaven’s gate

Grace defines you. As grace sinks in, earthly labels fade. You are who God says you are. Spiritually alive. Heavenly positioned.
From Ephesians 2:4-5: “But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved.”
Max Lucado (born 1955) is an American pastor and Christian author.
Refreshed
Tender morning rain
Nourishing landscape’s spirit—
Heavenly bounty
Embodied
View of morning sky
Peeking above lofty trees—
Life rises to light
Anticipated
Chill of morning air
Catching each northerly breeze—
Summer winks at fall
A positive outlook helps to reframe one’s life with fresh opportunity.

I’ve learned . . . that being kind is more important than being right.
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eyes.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr. (1940-2021) was an American author who has been best known for his inspirational thoughts, as written in his LIFE’S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK.
Driving fast down time’s hectic road
Passing new sign’s life-changing mode
Hey busy people, “What’s your rush?”
Best to paint life with brand new brush
Slow self down, before passing by
More to life than hello and bye
Coffee’s better with second cup
Take time to really size life up
Spend precious moments, call your friend
Each minute pays big dividends
Look around, lend others your hand
Playing music on life’s bandstand
Time spent with young children at play
Ageless, feeling younger each day
Neighborhood walk with man’s best friend
Rounding out life’s perfect weekend
Share love with your special someone
Lighting rainbows with rising sun
Cruisin’ along life’s peaceful street
No rush now, enjoying each treat
