Greeting the early light each morning often brings mourning. Mourning because sleep has ended. However after the 15 minutes or so needed to awaken my body to the new day I methodically pull the blinds up in our house. The lifting of the blinds reveals additional light for which I am most thankful each morning. Even on a cloudy day there is light. Light is separating the day from the night and I am awakening once again to God's good grace.

"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." - Gen. 1:3-5

Thank God that he ordained each day like this. He brought the light into the world and He reminds me everyday that He did this and it was good. I pray that you continue to reflect on God as light.
