It’s been a while since I’ve had any early morning thoughts……well, early morning when the sun was rising anyway. I guess 1:00 a.m. is early morning, but it’s just not quite the same as 6 a.m.
I woke up to the sound of Hugo whimpering in his cage, and I decided that good grandmas get up and take care of puppies while their sons sleep…
So, I’ve been out this morning walking around in the wet grass with Erich’s puppy.
I’ve missed the early morning sounds-birds chirping as if to say “there’s lots to do today, let’s get going!”
I’ve missed the sun peeking up over the hill beyond our house. I love that the sun is so faithful to rise every morning…..how can anyone not believe in God’s faithfulness when they open their eyes to the world around them?
I’ve missed having some quiet time in the morning before things get hopping.
Yes, as much as I enjoy being a night owl, I think I’m ready to transition back to being a morning person.
It was so funny watching Hugo try to get our dog Peppy to “play” with him in the kitchen a little bit ago. Hugo would pounce toward Peppy, throwing his paws up in the air and jumping towards him……hoping that Peppy would pounce back. But Peppy just stood there in the kitchen at 6:30 a.m., looking at Hugo as if he were crazy. It was hilarious. Peppy looked irritated and tired while Hugo looked ready to run around the college campus across the street from our house.
I want to have a Hugo spirit!
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Wanting to live with a renewed mind and spirit today,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
