The fire crackles as the plum of flames ignited from the newly added logs. The stove creaks as the flames give off their inevitable heat. Morning has arrived and light has begun to stream forth from the east, casting its gleam on all the land. The showery mist consumes the light into a shadowy glow. Another day has arrived and with it the opportunity to discover more of God’s blessings. Plans have been made for the day that act as a compass guide. Whatever may come this day, this morning reflection and the sense of direction add to the peace with which the gifts of today will be unwrapped. Not every day has been like this, nor do I expect that all future days will unfold this way. What hasn’t been and what might be are now tucked away in the grace and peace of what is. I give thanks for this moment, this day, this opportunity for life!
