Sunrise greets morning
Life’s precious rewrite
Opportunity
Second chance takes flight
Lifetime’s intentions
Journey not complete
Treasure each minute
Spirit’s breath, upbeat
Always share kindness
Chase gray clouds away
Smile warms someone’s heart
Brighten one more day
Tomorrow can wait
Walk this cherished route
Embrace love’s moments
Before time runs out

Early morning surroundings
Freshly brewed coffee now poured
Moments of light compounding
Conversation with faith’s Lord
Bible’s pages reopened
Study begins with God’s Word
Grace knocking, heart now opened
More than coffee being stirred
Gentle spirit settles in
Wisdom seeks receptive ear
Father finds trusted plug-in
Lessons become crystal clear
Coffee cup now filled with grace
Sunrise seals Savior’s snapshot
Rising in this humble place
Redemption forever bought
From Ephesians 1:7: “In him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.”

Pray now; draw on the grace of God in the moment of need.
From 2 Corinthians 6:1: “As we work together with Him, we entreat you also not to accept the grace of God in vain.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
Life’s joyful journey
Relationships built on grace—
Friendship’s steady rock
Loyalty in friends
Reaching each summit as one—
Sticking together
Navigating storms
Guided by trust among friends—
Nourishing each soul
