Bless the Lord with Modest Dress

Good Morning's quiet reflections

Good morning Friends,

Early this morning my husband woke. He decided to get on up and start the day. Little does he know this really starts my day as well. But that can really be a good thing. As in the still quietness of the morning. So much can get done. And for that I am thankful. As this week...though we never want it to be....we have just been running. We get to the point where we desire to "just stay home". We have so much to do that even when we stay home....we are running a bit.

So some of my thoughts on the good things about getting up early and being at home:

You can sit and pet the puppy while catching up on email.

You can look out the window and see all the beautiful morning views.

You can watch the birds begin to fly and gather.

You can see each hen come out of the coop as she is finished laying her eggs.

You can watch the turkeys waddle by.

You can see the cows slowly begin their day of munching the sweet grass in the fields.

You can see the guineas begin their day of scurrying through the yard....I just love to watch the guineas...they are my yard clowns. Just precious.  

You can see the dew on the roses that are lacing my window view.

You can see the bunnies begin to scurry and wiggle.

I can see my husband's bees from his hive begin to buzz around and gather nectar for their honey making buzziness.  

You can hear the quiet sounds...creaks, fans blowing, the paper picture my youngest drew that blows to and fro on the fridge....that the house makes in the stillness of morning.

You can have your time with the Lord and praise His name.

You can have simple fellowship with the Lord to grow and know Him better.

I can appreciate the wonderful gifts our Lord has given us in living on our little homestead and know not only the the workings of our little farm...but the intricate design of all that lives here. Even down to the bees buzzing about as they start their day.

Isn't God good!

Well, I better get the children going on their day. What a blessing to have this time this morning and get to read, write and then be with the Lord....what a nice way to start this day.

It reminds me of a song I learned along time ago as a child in church....."This is the day, this is the day, that the Lord hath made, that the Lord hath made. We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it." Such good and encouraging words in light of this mornings reflections.

Have a wonderful day in the Lord,

Kris M.

I so want some "yard clowns". I had a problem with the fleas this year, and I hear they are the things to have that will take care of that. They will also take care of any ant problems too.
You have a wonderful outlook on life and it is very very refreshing. Love your blog.
Have a blessed day.
