EARLY GRATEFULNESS

Still in the passing dark of early morning and I hear birds singing. Why does a bird awaken with a song in its heart? I suppose it wakes up excited about the prospect of eating worms. I have much more to look forward to, yet I am not nearly as enthusiastic as they. Lord, thanks for the reminder. I am very grateful for what awaits. You have ordered my steps for this new day. Chirp, chirp. I feel better already.
