Most mornings I wake up grateful.

Before the day starts, I like to sit and quietly watch the sun rise while prayerfully contemplating the many blessings God has restored in my life.

I’ve learned not to dwell on loses from Him pruning me for new growth …

But to appreciate the wonder of new opportunities, new relationships, and even new purposes and meanings in Christ.

After all, He’s the God of creation …

And delights in making all things new.
