the world sings

the alarm is about to sound.  but i win.  5:57am.  my sneakers are at the end of the bed.  I slept in my running clothes.  so I was without excuse at 6:00am.  2 miles.  some days it feels like drudgery.  other days the world sings and i get to join in the chorus.  today was a symphony. 

counting the gifts. singing His song.

•  the sun rising to greet the day
• creatures stirring in morning light
• praise ringing in my ears
• my heart beating the staccato of joy
• flowers turning faces to sun
• blades a grass bedecked in sparkling jewels
• how You are calling me to the High Places (this book for Kindle $1.99)
• the rewards far outweighing the risks
• friends willing to risk intimacy 
• a getaway weekend with my man
