2006-12-08 - Applause for the
Lord
"The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to
where it rises." (Ecclesiastes 1:5 NIV)
Today these words seem to float onto the paper. I write listening to the
sounds of nature, as children laugh and the birds sing outside. Soon the
day turns into night and the sounds disappear into the darkness, where they
are lost forever, until the daylight appears and the sun returns for another
day.
Ah, I like counting on the fact that the sun will always appear, every morning.
I like the comfort of knowing if nothing else in my day goes as I planned
or I expected, at least the sun will arise, the birds will sign, and dew
will appear on grass blades.
God, Your warm and gentle presence is enough to get
me through the good and bad times.
