Song of The Morning Robin

Assignment:
See how many things in nature and every day life you can find that teach us an eternal principle about God and his plan for his children.



I wake in the morning to the sound of robins singing up the sun in the dim light of dawn. As the minutes pass and I breathe in the cool damp air of a dew filled morning the rays of light become more apparent for my eyes to see. Anticipation rises with the glow that reaches across the lake and mountainside and breaks the darkness of the night and introduces a new day.

I gather myself and head down to the docks along the lakeside park.
As my foot steps along the weathered wood breaks the silent sounds of morning I hear another sound that stops me in my steps. Splashing and clicking noises from around the corner. Five playfull otters are enjoying the mornings break of dawn and are on the hunt for their breakfast. Their curiosity draws them in closer to get a better look at me. They swim out in front of me right up next to the dock and have there look at me and make little barking noises and then dismiss themselves with a few quick flicks and splashes and swim away underneath the dock. I sitdown on the damp wood and enjoy that moment.

It is brighter now and the suns rays have reached the tops of the mountains and are descending gradually toward the shoreline. I take a deap breath in and thank My Heavenly Father for that moment in time to share His creations with me and for me to take the time to enjoy them.

I think of my morning thus far and reflect on waking to the robins song. The Beautiful song filled with joy starts the new day with an excitement of a hidden blessing. We are blessed every morning to wake up to a brand new day. The robins know it, but do we? We are able to sleep our troubles away every night and wake up refreshed and cleansed to start the day out right. Opportunity presents itself and we have the choice to pick it up and run with it. I like to think I might forgive someone and seek to be forgiven, to help brightens someones day with a smile and by telling myself at the beggining that it is going to be a great and beautiful day.

That is a gift and an eternal principal; to become more like Him and that we have the chance to do that every day if we choose to. God's presence is all around us. He is in my life and in everything I do. I see it in the sunrise and in the birds, in the dew drops on a flower and the otters and in the sky. God is wishing us to make the most of what we have and that is a new day filled with opportunity.

He bestow's his Love upon me from the air I breathe to the angels who guard and protect me through out the events of the day. I want to choose to make each new day better than the one before. Noticing more of the beauty in nature and in all of God's creations can bless my life with His love. I am grateful for that and so I look forward to another sunrise in the morning to take my chances on Faith and Hope and relying on the Lord to help me along by sending me a song sparrow or a rolly polly. If we look we will see it.....We just need to take the chance.
